Overview

Historical significance

Designed by Robert Scot, this coin represents the early years of the United States Mint. The Heraldic Eagle reverse replaced the earlier 'Small Eagle' design. Quarters from this era are exceptionally rare because production was suspended from 1808 to 1815 due to low demand and silver shortages.

Estimated value

$500 to $15,000+ depending on the specific year, mint mark, and authenticated grade by services like PCGS or NGC.

Care & preservation

Do not clean or polish the coin, as this removes the original surface (patina) and significantly reduces collector value. Store in a PVC-free, archival-quality flip or holder to prevent environmental damage and keep it in a cool, dry place.
