Lot Description

1805 Draped Bust Quarter. B-2. Rarity-2. AU-50 (PCGS). This is a boldly toned, conditionally scarce example of the challenging Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle quarter type. Detail is suitably bold for a lightly circulated survivor of the type, the strike soft in isolated areas, yet appreciably sharper elsewhere. Smooth in hand with glints of satiny mint luster evident as the coin dips into a light. PCGS# 5313. NGC ID: 23RC. Provenance: From the Catherine Bullowa Moore Collection.
