Twenty | Twenty Five Cents

The US quarter dollar and the short lived twenty cent piece, are iconic issues of the mint. The ill-advised twenty cent was only made for four years between 1875 and 1878 and the last two years were proof only in small quantities. Therefore, some have never even heard of it or seen one. The quarter dollar, first made in 1796 or possibly 1792 has lasted throughout the history of the US Mint and into the present era.
