Capped Bust quarters were minted in the United States from 1807 to 1839, featuring a design by engraver John Reich. The 1838 Capped Bust quarter, struck at the Philadelphia mint, is notable for its historical significance and transition to the Seated Liberty design. Collectors value these coins for their artistry, rarity, and place in the development of U.S. coinage. The 1838 issue is particularly sought after due to its limited mintage and connection to early American numismatic history.
