Lot Description

1796 Draped Bust Quarter. B-2. Rarity-3. AG-3 (PCGS). With a sharp date, original dove gray patina and uncommonly smooth surfaces for the assigned grade, this coin holds tremendous appeal for the collector seeking a relatively affordable example of the one year Draped Bust, Small Eagle quarter design type. All obverse devices are boldly outlined and clear, in fact, and the eagle on the reverse is partially discernible despite the overall lack of detail on that side. Scarce type! PCGS# 5310. NGC ID: 23RA. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
