The Draped Bust Quarter, minted from 1796 to 1807, is a significant collectible coin in American numismatics. The design features a bust of Liberty wearing a draped gown on the obverse, while the reverse showcases an eagle with a shield. These quarters were produced at the Philadelphia Mint and are notable for their historical importance, scarcity, and the craftsmanship involved in their design. The 1796 Draped Bust Quarter is particularly sought after by collectors due to its low mintage and the early date in the series.
