A Classic Head 2 1/2 dollar gold coin. 1838. Almost 175 years old. 23 years before the Civil War or as we call it down here The War of Northern Aggression. (Lighten up, people, it's a joke) Amazingly good condition. I would have it graded but i am NOT sending this coin to a grader through the U.S. Mail.

I try to have a little fun and display my wit, which is abundant, i might add. So, i'll put my collection on here, if you want to comment, do so. Otherwise , MOVE ON!!
Nice coin?
