1796 B-2 Quarter, Toned VF25
Sharp for the Grade

1796 25C B-2, R.3, VF25 PCGS. Tompkins Die State 2/1. Richly toned in walnut-brown shades, this Browning-2 quarter is well-defined for the VF25 grade level. The 6 in the date is high, and TY of LIBERTY sits noticeably higher than the adjacent R. Two die marriages exist for the low, 6,146-piece 1796 mintage -- the other die pair is Browning-1, with the 6 numeral lower and the letters of LIBERTY aligned along their natural curve. Interestingly, the B-2 die marriage was struck before Browning-1 coins based on die wear shown by the shared reverse. The B-2 coins outnumber the surviving B-1 examples by a factor of 3 to 1. A few tiny marks and abrasions are well hidden by the deep toning that flows evenly throughout both sides .
