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. 1790 is the date its state was admitted to the union. The other date is the year it was minted.
