1834 Capped Bust Quarter VG
In 1834, the United States Mint produced this silver quarter dollar, a piece that captures the design sensibilities of early American coinage. Struck with a silver purity of 0.8924, this coin contains 0.17875 troy ounces of precious metal. It represents a fascinating era of circulating currency before the mid nineteenth century, offering a direct link to the daily commerce of the 1830s. The obverse side displays a left facing portrait of Lady Liberty wearing her draped cap, encircled by a ring of stars with the date 1834 positioned at the bottom. On the reverse, a heraldic eagle is depicted with a patriotic shield across its chest, gripping both an olive branch of peace and a bundle of arrows. The surrounding inscriptions read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and denote the face value as 25 C. at the base.
