The Draped Bust Quarters were produced by the United States Mint from 1796 to 1807, with the 1805 issue struck in Philadelphia. This coin features a portrait of Liberty wearing a flowing gown and a draped shawl on the obverse, while the reverse displays an eagle with a shield. These quarters are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and the artistry of their design. The 25-cent denomination during this period was crucial in the development of U.S. coinage as it provided a standard for silver currency.
