In fact, the Mint did not put the denomination on quarters until 1804. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Compare your coin to a modern quarter. If your coin is a quarter it will be somewhat larger in diameter(~27.5 mm vs. 24.3 mm) and thinner than a modern quarter. If it is a half dollar it will be about the same diameter as a modern half dollar (maybe slightly larger) and it will have edge lettering saying &quot;FIFTY CENTS OR HALF A DOLLAR&quot;. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Let us know what you find out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
