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.
