The Capped Bust Quarter, minted from 1804 to 1839, features a draped bust of Liberty with a cap atop her head and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. The 1838 Capped Bust Quarter is particularly notable as it marks one of the final years of this design before the introduction of the Seated Liberty design in 1838. Collectors often seek out examples of this coin due to its historical significance and the transition in design it represents. The Capped Bust series is popular among numismatists, reflecting the artistry and craftsmanship of early American coinage.
