Description

1796 B-2 Quarter, VF Details
Important One-Year Type

1796 25C B-2, R.3 -- Repaired -- PCGS Genuine. VF Details. Tompkins Die State 2/1. Charcoal surfaces contain lighter regions towards the center. Some errant abrasions do not detract from the eye appeal of this piece, though a scratch in the upper right obverse is of recent origin. Repairs are noted by PCGS, likely on the obverse below the ear and below the chin. The 1796 quarter is the only year the Draped Bust obverse was paired with the Small Eagle reverse, creating an issue that is always in high demand. Two die marriages are known, and the present B-2 is the more available pairing. Tompkins Die State 2/1 has the curl by stars 1 and 2 removed through lapping, but the cracks through the upper right stars and RTY of LIBERTY have not developed yet. This important offering would be equally at home in a type collection, quarter collection by date, or the die marriage collection of a series specialist.
