label: Description
content: Scarcely six thousand quarters were struck during the first year of production. Robert Scot designed this coin. In general, the same people who created artwork for dimes also worked on quarter dollars and half dollars - at least, down to the early part of the twentieth century. Changes in design for all three denominations tended to take place at roughly the same time.
