Additional Description: The 1805 Draped Bust Quarter, part of the early and short-lived Draped Bust series, is a scarce and historically important issue with a mintage of just over 120,000. In Good to Very Good condition, the coin shows heavy wear, though Liberty’s profile, the date, and portions of the reverse eagle remain visible. Stands as a well-circulated artifact of early American commerce, offering a direct connection to the nation’s formative years of federal coinage.
