December 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: Classic 1796 Quarter One Year Small Eagle Design Type 1796 Draped Bust Quarter. B-2. Rarity-3. VG-10 (PCGS). Offered is a handsome circulated example of the historic and elusive 1796 Draped Bust quarter. Richly toned in dominant charcoal-olive, both sides also exhibit intermingled antique gold, powder blue and pinkish-rose iridescence. The strike is ideally centered and, while the reverse is a bit soft at the lower left and upper right borders, the obverse retains bold outline detail to all design elements, as well as the denticles. On the reverse, all design elements are readily appreciable with the exception of the letter A in AMERICA, which can be difficult to discern even with the aid of a loupe. Smooth in hand with no sizeable marks, this coin is sure to have no difficulty finding its way into a type set that includes all classic U.S. Mint series. One of 6,146 examples of the date struck in the first year of the denomination, and the only year of the Draped Bust, Small Eagle design type; no quarter dollars were forthcoming from the Mint again until 1804, in which year the Large Eagle reverse was used to conform to the other circulating silver coins of the era.
