1796 B-2 Quarter, Good 6
Small Eagle, Key Early Type

1796 25C B-2, R.3, Good 6 PCGS. CAC. 1796 was a good year for the Draped Bust, Small Eagle design as it was struck on all silver denominations specified in the Coinage Act of 1792, from the half dime to the silver dollar. The quarter and half dollar are significant rarities. The 1796 quarter is a single-year type coin. The denomination would not be struck again until 1804, when the Heraldic Eagle commanded the reverse. The present example displays rich original red, gunmetal-blue, and tan-brown toning, deeper on the reverse. A lens reveals scattered unimportant marks, and the devices display wear commensurate with the grade.
