Lot Description

1796 Draped Bust Quarter. B-2. Rarity-3. Poor-1 (PCGS). With a legible date, original dove gray patina and overall smooth surfaces, this coin holds tremendous appeal for the collector seeking a relatively affordable example of the one year Draped Bust, Small Eagle quarter design type. Apart from the date, a portion of Liberty's portrait, the last few stars and the top of the eagle's head and surrounding wreath elements, all design elements have been lost to wear. Two light scratches in the right obverse field are noted, although such features are hardly significant for such a well worn survivor of this scarce early U.S. Mint issue. PCGS# 5310. NGC ID: 23RA.
