Question
I have a 1855 US 2 1/2 dollar gold coin.
It is in excellent condition, possibly never circulated.
Could you tell me the approximate value?
Thanks
Derek
It really depends on the exact condition of the coin. If the coin has never been messed with (i.e. cleaned, damaged, etc.) and it has immaculate surfaces (never circulated) it can be worth well over $1000. If there's any wear on the coin it will be between $300-$400. You might want to go to a local coin show and coin shop and show it to some dealers for their opinion.

Expertise
I specialize in U.S. three-cent nickels, but also close behind them are U.S. two-cent pieces, three-cent silver, and twenty cent pieces. Also, I have a bit of experience in the area of U.S. Early Proofs (19th century). However, I can possibly assist in most questions regarding U.S. Type coins.
Experience
I have read virtually everything I can find in print on the areas of U.S. 2-3-20 cent pieces. I have written articles on three-cent coins and Early Proofs published (or will be published) in Coin World.
