Classic Head Gold Quarter Eagles
Introduced in 1834, the Classic Head Quarter Eagle was created following a reduction in the weight and fineness of U.S. gold coinage. William Kneass' distinctive Liberty design would remain in production for just six years before being replaced by Christian Gobrecht's Liberty Head design in 1840. Because many surviving Classic Head Quarter Eagles exhibit circulation, damage or other impairments, certified Mint State examples are especially desirable among collectors.

I think “Mint State Early U.S. Gold” is the hook I'd use on the Stout listing. A nearly 190-year-old gold coin in an NGC MS-60 holder sells itself better than trying to stretch “rare date.”
