1796 Philadelphia Draped Bust quarter (Small Eagle)25 cents
Notable auction sale$1,740,000Newer sale: $292,800 (Sep 1, 2026)
PCGS MS66
Representative same-issue MS67 Browning-2 quarter, Green-Newman pedigree, cert 57233700. NOT either cited sold specimen; benchmark and recent prices concern MS66 and MS62 coins respectively. Photo: PCGS TrueView / Professional Coin Grading Service 1796 Philadelphia Draped Bust quarter (Small Eagle)
The first United States quarter has a recorded mintage of 6,146. Its Draped Bust obverse and Small Eagle reverse form a one-year quarter-dollar type.
What makes this one different
Confirm the 1796 date and Small Eagle reverse on an authentic quarter. Later Draped Bust quarters use a different reverse; a heavily worn 1796 is not equivalent to the MS66 benchmark.

1827/3 Original Capped Bust Quarter, Proof25 cents
Notable auction sale$705,000
PCGS PR66+ Cameo
Representative same issue: PCGS certificate 31385748 identifies an 1827/3 Original quarter PR66+CAM. The explicit TrueView viewer's image URL carries a different certificate identifier, so an exact benchmark-photo match or reholder history is not asserted. Photo: PCGS TrueView 1827/3 Original Capped Bust Quarter, Proof
The original 1827-dated quarter is a proof issue; later restrikes use a different reverse. This result is for the Pogue B-1 original proof.
What makes this one different
Authenticate the overdate from the original die features, not scratches or added digits. Confirm the date and any overdenomination or letter-size detail. Proof status needs specialist attribution, not simply a shiny surface.

This early quarter combines the Draped Bust portrait with its period reverse. The cited PCGS MS67; CAC sale illustrates the premium for the documented coin, not a general value for all examples.
What makes this one different

This Standing Liberty quarter's result is tied to unusually strong preservation and strike detail. The cited PCGS MS65+ Full Head; CAC sale illustrates the premium for the documented coin, not a general value for all examples.
What makes this one different
Match the date and mintmark at the lower obverse. Full Head requires the appropriate head detail; it is not a separate date or variety.

The 1839 No Drapery proof represents specially prepared liberty seated quarter production. The auction result belongs to the cited NGC PR65 specimen.
What makes this one different
Confirm both the 1839 No Drapery issue and proof manufacture. Reflective fields, polishing or a high grade alone do not establish that a coin is a proof.

The date, mint and stated subtype distinguish this Liberty Seated quarter. The cited PCGS MS64 sale illustrates the premium for the documented coin, not a general value for all examples.

1818 Capped Bust Quarter, B-8 Proof25 cents
Notable auction sale$381,875Newer sale: $288,000 (Jan 10, 2019)
NGC PR67; CAC
Exact benchmark and newer-sale specimen: Heritage's 2019 Newman resale lot links NGC 2037631-011, whose verification identifies 1818 B-8 quarter PF67, ex Col. E.H.R. Green. Loose-coin obverse used. Photo: NGC 1818 Capped Bust Quarter, B-8 Proof
This early proof quarter is the B-8 die pairing. The same Green-Newman specimen brought $381,875 in 2013 and $288,000 in 2019; neither price is a general value for circulation-strike 1818 quarters.
What makes this one different
Authentication must establish proof manufacture and the B-8 pairing. A reflective or polished circulation strike is not equivalent.

San Francisco struck 72,664 quarters in 1901. Heavy circulation and limited contemporary saving helped make this a key Barber quarter, with high Mint State examples particularly scarce.

No matching coins. Try another date or category.
Good research starts with the sale.
Compare the same date, mint mark, variety, strike and grade before comparing prices. A spectacular auction result is evidence of one transaction, not an appraisal or a promise.
How this list is put together
Seven denomination lists contain 50 distinct coin issues each, for 350 researched entries. The overall top 50 is drawn from that collection. Lists are ordered by the highest documented sale included for each entry, not a current price estimate. This is a curated selection of notable U.S. and early American auctions, not an exhaustive census of every transaction or a live auction feed. Distinct dates, mint marks, varieties and strike types can appear separately; different grades of the same issue do not fill extra places. Museum-only coins, unsold bids, estimates and private transactions are excluded from the ranking.
Each sale links to its auctioneer or a grading-service record, with the grade reported at that sale. Newer documented sales appear separately when verified; they can involve another specimen or grade and do not show a like-for-like price change. Sorting by newest uses the newest sale included in each entry, not a claim that every auction has been searched.
Buyer-premium treatment is stated with each result. Historical dollars are not adjusted for inflation; taxes and shipping are not assumed included. Sources can report an auction's closing date instead of the individual session date. We use the session date where established and otherwise show the verified month.
Why isn't the unique 1849 double eagle ranked?
A museum rarity can attract large estimates without a comparable public sale. This resource ranks documented auction transactions, so it does not turn an estimate for a Smithsonian-held coin into a sold price.
Is my coin worth the price shown?
Not necessarily. The precise variety, authenticity, surfaces, grade and provenance matter. Many similar-looking coins are common. Do not clean a possible rarity; compare its details and get an independent authentication or appraisal before treating a headline result as your coin's value.
Photographs & corrections
These are real coin photographs, credited to their sources in every entry. The caption identifies the exact sold specimen where established; otherwise it identifies a reference example. No AI-generated coin details are used. CoinHub's editorial selections and descriptions are independent of the grading services and auction houses.
