Learn More About U.S. Quarters
Perhaps the most important coin in U.S. currency, the quarter originated at a time when half-cent and one-cent coins were commonly used by consumers and merchants. U.S. quarters have changed considerably throughout history. Among the first quarters circulated for mass production in 1796 were the Draped Bust quarters. These early quarters were made primarily from silver. Several versions of the U.S. quarter have since been issued throughout American history, making them an exciting coin for collectors to pursue.
