The 1835 Capped Bust Quarter is a remarkable example of early American coinage, minted at the Philadelphia mint. This quarter, with a denomination of 25 cents, was designed by John Reich and is notable for its classic Capped Bust design, which features a depiction of Liberty wearing a draped bust and a cap. The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, giving it a weight of 6.74 grams and a diameter of 24.3 millimeters. Produced as a proof coin, only 8 of these specific quarters were minted, making it extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors. The edge of the coin is reeded, adding to its aesthetic appeal. As a piece of history from the United States of America, the 1835 Capped Bust Quarter exemplifies the craftsmanship of its era and serves as an important artifact of American numismatic history. Given its limited mintage and unique characteristics, this coin holds significant value in the collector's market.
