Description

Rare 1796 Quarter, B-2

1796 25C PCGS Genuine. B-2, R.3. The PCGS number ending in .98 suggests Damage as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of a VG example, but has a counterstamp on the reverse, and the right obverse field is tooled with pinscratches, as is the base of Liberty's neck. The counterstamp is composed of the initials O.G., and has been deeply impressed near the eagle's belly. It flattens Liberty's neck, which is opposite. Slightly bent from the counterstamp, but this cream-gray example will complete a quarter dollar type collection, of which the 1796 is the key date.(Registry values: P7, N7)
