More About This Collection
About Capped Bust Quarters
Capped Bust Quarters, struck from 1815 through 1838, represent an important period in early American silver coinage. Featuring Liberty wearing a distinctive cap and an eagle on the reverse, these historic U.S. quarters reflect the evolving artistry and minting techniques of the early United States Mint.
The series includes two major designs: the Large Size Capped Bust Quarter (1815–1828) and the Reduced Diameter Capped Bust Quarter (1831–1838). Collectors value these coins for their early American history, distinctive varieties, and surviving examples across a wide range of grades.
History of the Capped Bust Quarter
German-born engraver John Reich introduced the Capped Bust design on the Half Dollar in 1807, followed by the Dime in 1809. The design appeared on the Quarter in 1815, following a period during which no quarters were struck from 1808 through 1814.
Reich's obverse depicts Liberty facing left, wearing a cap inscribed LIBERTY, with thirteen stars surrounding the portrait. The reverse features an eagle with a shield, arrows, and an olive branch, surrounded by the inscription UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
The first-year 1815 Capped Bust Quarter had a mintage of 89,235 coins. Production resumed in 1818, and subsequent issues included numerous collectible die varieties and overdates.
Large Size Capped Bust Quarters (1815–1828)
The original Capped Bust Quarters measured approximately 27 millimeters in diameter and featured the denomination 25 C. beneath the eagle.
One of the most notable issues is the 1823/2 Capped Bust Quarter, a scarce overdate variety with a reported mintage of 17,800 coins. Early dates, die varieties, and well-preserved examples remain important areas of interest for collectors of this series.
Reduced Diameter Capped Bust Quarters (1831–1838)
In 1831, the United States Mint introduced a smaller Capped Bust Quarter measuring approximately 24.3 millimeters in diameter.
Chief Engraver William Kneass modified John Reich's original design, refining Liberty's portrait and removing the E PLURIBUS UNUM banner from the reverse. The revised design continued through 1838, before the introduction of the Liberty Seated Quarter in 1838.
Certified Capped Bust Quarters
Certified Capped Bust Quarters graded by PCGS, NGC, and CAC offer collectors professional authentication and grading of these historic silver coins.
Collectors may focus on early dates, overdates, die varieties, the two major design types, or coins with strong surviving detail. Original surfaces, strike quality, condition, and rarity are important considerations when evaluating individual examples.
