Design and Specifications of the 1807 Quarter
The 1807 Quarter was the final year of the Draped Bust design for quarters, which had been in use since 1796. This coin represents a significant transitional period in early American coinage, as it was soon replaced by the Capped Bust design in 1815 after a gap in quarter production.
The Draped Bust Quarter was one of the first denominations authorized by the Coinage Act of 1792, but its production was inconsistent due to the preference for Spanish colonial coins in circulation.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of an 1807 Quarter has a significant impact on its value. Due to its age and limited survival rate, high-grade examples are extremely valuable. Coins in VF (Very Fine) condition are considered above average, while those in XF (Extremely Fine) or better are highly prized by collectors.
Original surfaces with minimal wear on the high points of the design, particularly Liberty's hair and the eagle's features, command premium prices. The presence of luster in protected areas can significantly increase value, as can attractive, natural toning.
Mintage: 220,643
Rarity Scale: Rare
Circulation Status: Limited Circulation
Preservation Rarity: Extremely rare in grades above VF (Very Fine), with AU (About Uncirculated) and Mint State examples being exceptionally scarce
Varieties Errors: Large Eagle and Small Eagle reverse varieties
Market Demand: High, due to its historical significance and rarity
Strike quality is an important factor for 1807 Quarters. Well-struck examples with full detail in Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers are more desirable. The Large Eagle and Small Eagle varieties can affect value, with the Large Eagle being slightly more common.
Provenance can play a role in value, especially for high-grade examples with a history of belonging to notable collections. Additionally, die state variations, such as die cracks or clashing, can be of interest to specialized collectors and potentially increase value.
