U.S. 25-Cent Quarters
(1796 - Current)
U.S. Twenty-Five-Cent coinage, commonly known as the quarter, was first issued in 1796 and has served as one of the most important circulating denominations in American commerce. Throughout its long history, the quarter has reflected major shifts in U.S. coin design, metallurgy, and public engagement, evolving from early silver issues to modern clad and commemorative programs. Today, the quarter dollar remains both a workhorse of everyday transactions and one of the most widely collected U.S. coins, appealing to beginners and advanced collectors alike.

Why Most State Quarters Aren’t Valuable
The U.S. Mint’s State Quarters program was one of the most popular coin series ever, but despite the hype, most of these coins aren’t worth more than face value. Coin shops regularly see full sets brought in, yet unless they’re silver proofs or graded at the highest levels, dealers simply aren’t buying. Learn why State Quarters are fun to collect but rarely valuable — and what exceptions to look out for.
