Congress suspended quarter production entirely from 1807 to 1815 — not from disinterest, but because the half dollar was doing the job well enough and the Mint saw no economic case for running both simultaneously. When quarters resumed, the revised Capped Bust design by John Reich was already in place from the half dollar series, adapted here by William Kneass.
The 1823/2 overdate is the most significant variety in this short run, with only a handful of confirmed examples known. The 1827 restrike, produced years later using an original reverse married to a recut obverse die, has fooled collections for generations.
