Several different design types of Bust Quarters were struck from 1796 to 1838. The 1796 with its Small Eagle reverse is a one year only type. The same obverse was paired with a Heraldic Eagle for Bust Quarters dated 1804 to 1807.
From 1815 to 1828 a Capped Bust design was used and Bust Quarters from 1831 to 1838 had a nearly identical design but were smaller in diameter.
Attractive warm gray tone with even and distinct surface detail. Only the second year a quarter was produced. It is the first one produced in the 19th century and the first with the 'Heraldic Eagle' design. Only 6,738 were produced.

CAC. 25c/50c. Problem-free steel gray surfaces exhibit solid detail and an even strike. A tough variety in any grade and highly sought by both specialists and general collectors. An issue that seldom turns up at public sale. Only 15 coins have graded finer at PCGS.
Light steel-gray surfaces with a touch of lime, turquoise and gold and an outer ring of rich steel-blue on the obverse.
All 1824 quarters were struck from a single pair of dies and are thus all over-dates. The bottom of the 2 is visible under the 4. Just 24,000 were minted and PCGS CoinFacts estimates that there are about 400 survivors. This is a wonderful coin for the grade with strong, even detail and nice smooth dove-gray surfaces. Housed in an older PCGS holder.
B-2. Attractive silver-gray surfaces with a champagne-gold tint concentrated along the periphery and strong remnant luster.
25/50c. A scarce and popular Redbook listed variety with an estimated 50 to 75 known. This is one of just four VF-20 coins PCGS has graded. It shows strong detail along with attractive two-toned gray surfaces.
