The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the $2.50 Classic Head Gold, Proof (1834–1839) series of Pre-1933 Gold Coinage in the U.S. Coins contains 3 distinct entries with CPG® values between $210,000.00 and $540,000.00.

In 1834, a ribbon binding Liberty's hair, bearing the word LIBERTY, replaced the

liberty cap. The motto was omitted from the reverse. In 1840 a coronet and smaller

head were designed to conform with the appearance of the larger gold coins. Proof examples of these early gold coins are extremely rare and highly sought by advanced collectors.
