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.
|
|
Mile High Collection. NGC dutifully reports "holed" on the slab insert, though one scarcely needs a grading service to announce such a remarkable revelation for the present key date quarter. A... |

|
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 PCGS Fair-2.
|

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.
|
|
It is almost superfluous to mention that the B-2 is the more common of the two die marriages, as any quarter dated 1796 hardly qualifies as "common" regardless of the dies that were used to produce... |

|
1796 About Good-3 Holed.
|
|
With a minute mintage of 6,146, this coin is considered scarce in all grades. This About Good-3 example is holed at six o'clock and hits the bottom half of the seven, but it has retained a strong... |

1796 Browning-1, Rarity-5. ANACS F-12 Details, Plugged-Cleaned.
|
|
Despite an amateur attempt to enhance its surfaces and its obvious damage repair work, this example visually eclipses the more often encountered low grade damaged issues. Just 6,146 pieces were... |
