Interesting fact
The Draped Bust Quarter, minted from 1804 to 1807, is a rare and valuable coin due to its low mintage and historical significance. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was designed by John Reich, a German-born engraver who was appointed by President Thomas Jefferson to work at the United States Mint. Reich's design features a portrait of Lady Liberty with a draped bust, representing freedom and democracy, and an eagle on the reverse side. The coin's unique design and historical importance make it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
