The Capped Bust Quarter, minted from 1815 to 1838, features a profile of Liberty wearing a Capped Bust on the obverse and an eagle with a shield on the reverse. The 1821 version of this coin was produced at the Philadelphia Mint, which was the only mint in operation at the time. The quarter's composition is 90% silver and 10% copper, making it a sought-after collectible for numismatists. Its historical significance, artistic design, and relative scarcity, particularly in higher grades, contribute to its popularity among collectors of United States coins.
