The first US quarters were dated 1796.
If you look more closely at your quarter (you did wonder how a 220+ year old quarter could look so shiny, right?) you'll see it has 2 dates. It's a modern state quarter. 1792 is the date its state was admitted to the union. The other date is the year it was minted.
That would be an impressive find, given that the U.S. Mint didn't begin production until 1793. If this quarter has George Washington on one side and Kentucky on the other, then it's a State quarter from 2001 and is worth 25 cents.
The first US quarter dollar was issued in 1796 not 1792.
The first year for US coins was 1793. Now if the date 1792 is just below the word Kentucky, then it's a 2001 State quarter, worth 25 cents.
Take another look at that coin. If the year 1792 is just below the word Kentucky, then it's a 2001 State quarter.
The first US quarter was struck in 1796.
No US quarters were struck in 1922. The US did not make ANY quarters dated 1922.

1792 quarter

1796 is the first year of issue, post new question.
A US quarter has a face value of 25 cents.
No US quarters were minted before 1796. The first U.S. Mint opened its doors in 1792, so there are no U.S. coins dated earlier than that.
The value of a 1792 E Pluribus Unum horse quarter, often referred to as the 1792 quarter dollar, can be quite significant, as it is a rare piece of numismatic history. However, it's important to note that the coin was never officially minted as a quarter dollar; instead, it was a proposed design. If such a coin were to exist, its value would depend on its condition and authenticity, with estimates potentially ranging from thousands to millions of dollars for genuine specimens. Always consult a reputable coin dealer or numismatist for an accurate appraisal.

There are no 1792 US silver dollars. The US Mint did not begin producing silver dollars until 1793. There are probably fakes of any coin that has much value.
Unless it's Proof, it's just a quarter.
