US Quarters
Quarters are the one-quarter of an American dollar; the quarter coin features a portrait of George Washington on the obverse while the reverse has changed frequently from time to time. Significantly from 1796 to 1831, the reverse of the quarter coin varied often as new designs and carvings were proposed and introduced.
In 1796, the first-ever quarters were produced by the Mint: a silver coin with Liberty on the heads and an eagle on the tails of the coin. Designed by Herman A. MacNeil, "Standing Liberty" State quarters were minted from 1916 to 1930. Undoubtedly, the early twentieth century provided the State with some of the most remarkable coin designs, including that of quarters. The Liberty was replaced by the portrait of George Washington on the obverse of the quarters.
