A denomination is needed, post new question.
The face value of a coin is however much money a coin can be spent as. A nickel's face value is 5 cents because it can only be spent as 5 cents.For example:The face value of a One Shilling coin is One Shilling.The face value of a One Dollar coin is One Dollar.The face value of any coin or bank note is what is written on it.
For a coin it is just worth the value stamped on it i.e. the value on it's face So a common coin is worth face value, but a rare coin is worth more than face value.

No U.S. quarter dollars exist dated 1798. Quarters were first made in 1796. None were issued again untill 1804. Please look at the coin again and post new question.

A British 1798 gold (spade) Half-Guinea (George III), circulated but still in good condition, might fetch anything from £140 to £525 GBP. The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most all early U.S. coins have different varieties for the same year issued. The 1798 Draped Bust Large Cent has 4 of them. The value of the coin runs from $30.00 to $100.00 (depending on which variety) in the lowest collectible grade of AG-3 and well over $1,000.00 starting at the VF range of grades. If you can, take it to more than one coin dealer for an idea of actual value. Values given are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelry or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer.
