1815 B1 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar ☆☆ Strong Reverse 204

This 1815 Capped Bust Quarter is a monumental piece of early American numismatics and a highly prized key-date issue. Following a complete eight-year suspension of the quarter dollar denomination after 1807, the U.S. Mint resurrected the 25-cent piece in 1815 with John Reich’s elegant new Capped Bust motif. Struck under immense logistical strain following the War of 1812, the entire original mintage for this year was incredibly low—just 89,235 pieces ever produced. All known survivors stem from a single die marriage, cataloged as the Browning-1 (B-1) variety. This scarce, large-size type coin is an essential cornerstone for advanced type collectors and early federal coinage specialists.
