1815 to 1828. Compared to their contemporary denominations, the silver coins
from the half dime to the half dollar, the large size capped bust quarters are
significantly rarer. A casual review at a major coin show bourse floor will
indicate multiply quantities of half dollars, half dimes and even dimes of the

that period were the work horse of the economy, and the vast majority of the
quarters circulated until they were unrecognizable or, more often, melted for
their intrinsic value in silver.
