Description
1796 B-2 Quarter, Fair 2
Classic Silver Type Rarity
1796 25C B-2, R.3, Fair 2 NGC. Struck for one year only, the
Small Eagle quarter is among the rarest silver types. A meager
6,146 pieces were struck, and the denomination again slumbered
until 1804, when the Heraldic Eagle was introduced. Bullion
depositors at the Mint preferred silver dollars, the reason for the
rarity of early quarters. The present silver-gray example has a
bold date. Most of the stars are apparent, although faint. Liberty
is nicely outlined. The reverse shows greater wear, but portions of
the wreath remain near 1:30 and 5 o'clock, and the upper curve of
the right (facing) wing is also visible. Among the 100 Greatest
U.S. Coins (6th edition).Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 9/2015), lot 3844.
