The Two and a Half Dollar coin, commonly known as the Quarter Eagle, was minted by the United States from 1796 to 1929. The earliest examples, including the 1808 issue, are highly sought after by collectors, particularly those struck in Philadelphia. The 1808 Quarter Eagle is notable for being the only date of its kind produced that year, making it a significant piece in American numismatic history. Its design, typically featuring a depiction of Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, reflects the artistic styles of early American coinage. Collectors value these coins not only for their rarity but also for their historical significance.
