The quarter eagle was struck from 1908 to 1915 and from 1925–1929. The half eagle was struck from 1908 to 1916, and in 1929. The pieces remain the only US circulating coins with recessed designs.

Before his death in August 1907, Saint-Gaudens completed designs for the <a href="/wiki/Eagle_(United_States_coin)" title="Eagle (United States coin)">eagle</a> ($10 piece) and <a href="/wiki/Double_eagle" title="Double eagle">double eagle</a>, although both required subsequent work to make them fully suitable for coining. </p><p>With the eagle and double eagle released into circulation by the end of 1907, the Mint turned its attention to the half eagle and quarter eagle, originally planning to duplicate the double eagle's design. The Mint had difficulty fitting the required inscriptions on the small gold coins. President Roosevelt, in April 1908, convinced Mint Director <a href="/wiki/Frank_Leach" class="mw-redirect" title="Frank Leach">Frank Leach</a> that it would be a better idea to strike a design similar to that of the eagle, but below the background, to secure a high-relief effect. Such coins were designed by Boston sculptor <a href="/wiki/Bela_Lyon_Pratt" class="mw-redirect" title="Bela Lyon Pratt">Bela Lyon Pratt</a> at the request of the President's friend, <a href="/wiki/William_Sturgis_Bigelow" title="William Sturgis Bigelow">William Sturgis Bigelow</a>.
