 Capped Bust Quarter Eagle 1808
The finest 1808 quarter eagle known traces its pedigree to the collection of the famous Colonel E.H.R. Green, son of the notorious “Witch of Wall Street,” fabulously wealthy Hetty Green.
As only one set of dies was prepared for quarter eagles in 1808, it’s obvious the Mint had no intention of striking any large quantities, but early die failure probably limited production to far fewer coins than officials had planned.
With no replacement dies, no more quarter eagles could be minted, and the minuscule demand for the denomination didn’t justify preparing new dies.

 Coin Collecting: Rare Quarter
I have recently received an 1899 United States quarter and I was wandering if someone could give me some background information on the coin, and an approximate value of the coin today?
While it does not have a rarity equivalent to the 1894-S dime, it is a very challenging set with three well-established key coins: 1896-S, 1901-S and 1913-S. Their very low mintages; and scarcity even in the lowest circulated grades, distinguish these three.
In fact, the 1913-S quarter with a mintage of 40,000 has the distinction of being the lowest mintage (regular issue) silver coin of the 20th century.
