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.”
‘’I would highly recommend making online purchases from Stout Gold & Silver. I was a little hesitant at first because it was going to be my first time purchasing from them so I gave them a call and they took extra time to walk me through the process. Turns out there was not much to it, I placed the order for check payment, mailed off my check and they sent me an update when my order was being shipped out. All the pieces of silver came exactly as described and were undamaged, they did a very good job packaging the pieces. All and all, I am very satisfied and look forward to placing my next order with them. I hope this is helpful comment for anyone interested in doing business with them.’’

‘’Best Gold and Silver dealer bar none! And the safe storage is both affordable and very secure. This business also has the advantage of being owned run by Tom Stout, who i would trust with just about anything. Admittedly I'm friends with Tom as well as a customer but he really is a man of his word, if he says it, that's the way it's going to happen.’’
