What is the value of an 1839 US quarter?

An 1839 US quarter is worth roughly between $4,000 - $8,000 today, depending on its condition and quality. This high premium value is attributed to its scarcity: 1839 quarters were the first quarters minted that year, resulting in fewer specimens. Due to the relatively low mintage of just 8,987 quarters, these coins are hard to come by and hence sought after in the coin collecting community.
