Posts: 1 6-Oct-2009 16:23:40	I have a friend who says she had a cowboy quarter as a kid, but she gave it away. I'm wanting to find one for her as a surprise, but I can't find anything online concerning a "cowboy quarter." Can anyone help me figure out what she's talking about? I know it's not one of the state quarters that started in 2000, because she is old enough to not have been a kid in 2000. The following post claims something similar, so it's a possible lead. What do you guys think? http://ahighlyirrelevantfieldguide.blogspot.com/2008/04/yee-haw-ye-patriots-roughnecks-alike.html Thank you for any help

The colonial drummer on the reverse could easily be mistaken for a cowboy. The cheapest way to get them would be to ask for old rolls of quarters from your local bank until you find one. You could buy one online too. They're not worth much so you shouldn't have to pay a lot unless you're looking to get one in mint condition. Good luck! Dan Coin collecting - The Hobby of Kings

They are all dated 1776-1976. You should be able to find a nice example at any coin shop or on e-bay and you should not have to spend a lot of money for one (less than a $1.00 I would think). I have never heard the term cowboy quarter before. It is possible that it could be some novelty coin and not a standard US coin. Good luck.
