1796 (B-2) PCGS Fair-2
|
|
Just plain heavily worn, neither side shows much sharpness at all, although the date remains astonishingly sharp for a coin this smooth. The obverse stars along the left side and perhaps 20% of the... |

1796 (B-2) NGC AU details/holed.
|

|
1796 PCGS Genuine (XF details/smoothed).
|
|
Without question, sharpness verges on the AU level despite the PCGS assertion of only "XF details", as the strands in Liberty's hair stand up well separated while the eagle's wings reveal considerable... |

1796 (B-1) NGC XF-40.
|
|
Eunice Peters Estate. So many first-date quarters have been ravaged over the years that it can almost seem startling to have an opportunity to acquire a certified non-problem example. NGC calls this... |

1796 About Good.
|

Surfaces are amazingly choice for such a low-grade and rare quarter, deeply toned in appealing, old pewter-grey with graphite accents. Technically, the planchet is slightly bent, which is the reason... |

|
1796 (B-2) PCGS Genuine.

1796 About Good-3 Holed.
