The Greysheet Catalog (GSID) of the $2.50 Draped Bust Gold (1796–1807) series of Pre-1933 Gold Coinage in the U.S. Coins contains 5 distinct entries with CPG® values between $6,250.00 and $990,000.00.

June 28, 1834. The Act of January 18, 1837, established fineness at .900. Most dates

before 1834 are rare. The first issue was struck in 1796; most of these had no stars
