The Capped Bust Quarter is a type of coin minted in the United States from 1815 to 1838. The 1818 Capped Bust Quarter features a design by John Reich and displays a profile of Liberty wearing a cap, symbolizing freedom. These quarters were struck primarily at the Philadelphia Mint and are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The 5 Five Dollars denomination from this era usually refers to gold coins, but the Capped Bust series is specifically associated with the quarter denomination. Collectors often seek variations based on design elements, mint marks, and condition.
