The Classic Head Quarter Eagles, valued at $2.50, were minted in the United States from 1834 to 1839. The design features a classic representation of Liberty and is notable for its distinctive head. The specific coin from 1808 is significant as it represents the earliest use of the Quarter Eagle denomination in the U.S. currency system, although the 1808 date itself is primarily associated with the earlier gold coins. Coins minted at the Philadelphia mint often exhibit higher quality and detail, making them sought-after collectibles.
