The 1796 Draped Bust quarter dollar is a very important first-year of issue, one-year type coin and the only American quarter struck during the 18th century.
One of the first signs of spring in the numismatic year is the Whitman Spring Expo in Baltimore, MD, and with it Stack's Bowers Galleries' official auction.
On the morning of December 12, 2025, amidst a sea of red on global financial exchanges, one ticker screen flickers with a defiant green: silver, $64.09 per ounce.
