Early Quarter Dollars

Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 679		Attractive 1796 Quarter. Sharpness of Extremely Fine 45, but repaired in the right obverse fields. The result is evidence of tooling (scratches), probably in an attempt to remove graffiti or initials. This popular first-year type is actually quite attractive in appearance and is well struck with full denticals on both sides and plenty of mint luster still adhering to the protected areas around the devices - enough in fact, as to suggest an even higher grade. The surfaces are lightly toned which adds even more appeal to its overall performance. For a collector who desires a high grade example of our first quarter and does not want to spend a bundle, here is your coin. View details	Realized $7,590
Lot 680		1804 Draped Bust Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded VF-20. Hairlined in the fields from an ancient cleaning and now nicely retoned. Always a key date with the low mintage and seldom found in decent grades, most being in Very Good or below. This pleasant Very Fine coin should attract considerable attention from a collecting public. Light silver color on the devices, the fields darker on the obverse, lighter overall on the reverse. Well struck, with each device still clear in spite of the moderate wear. View details	Realized $2,933
Lot 681		1805 Draped Bust Quarter Dollar. VG-8. Medium gun-metal gray color in the fields, with lighter devices. Well struck, evenly worn and with smooth surfaces. Lightly smoothed in the right obverse field to reduce minor scratches. View details	Realized $311
Lot 682		1806/5 Draped Bust Quarter Dollar. VG-8. Cleaned and still a bit too bright for its age. The overdate is clear with the ball of the 5 very clear to the lower left of the 6. Two small digs hidden in Liberty's hair. View details	Realized $184
Lot 683		1818 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. Sharpness of AU-50 but cleaned and retoned. The fields and devices show an array of hairlines from a none-to-gentle cleaning, then the coin was retoned along the lower right side and a bit more evenly toned on the reverse, with most of the color applied near the periphery. Boldly struck with fully mountainous curls on Liberty, and proud feathers noted on the eagle. Scarce as a type coin, and all to typical of what is available for today's numismatist. View details	Realized $604
Lot 684		1819 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. Large 9. PCGS graded AU-53. A choice coin for the grade, fully struck from lightly cracked dies (both obverse and reverse) and a scarce variety. The surfaces are evenly toned on the devices and fields with a light silvery-gray color atop a pleasing lustrous silver. Always in demand by type and variety collectors, this coin will find a ready home with a proud new owner. Note the doubling on the denomination on the reverse! View details	Realized $863
Lot 685		1820 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. Small 0. Sharpness of VF-20 but cleaned. The fields appear to have some smoothing in them, so this coin likely saw more attention that just a cleaning. Be sure to inspect it carefully. Light silvery-gray in color and well struck. View details	Realized $230
Lot 686		1821 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. Fine-12. Natural medium gray toning with some minor dark speckles on both sides. One shallow pin scratch hidden in Liberty's curls running from her ear to the edge by the date. View details	Realized $109
Lot 687		1822 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. 25 over 50c. Fine-15. Dark gray toning throughout, with smooth, even wear. Choice surfaces for the grade and popular for the low mintage date. View details	Realized $288
Lot 688		1824/2 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. VF-20. Lightly cleaned and now retoned with jet black highlights near the devices, which fade to a lighter silver color as you move further from the devices. Well struck and pleasing. One dig on the left reverse in the field and across IT of UNITED. View details	Realized $414
Lot 689		1825/4 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. EF-45. Darkly toned throughout, same color on the devices and fields. A few minor marks on Liberty, perhaps that's why the toning was applied in this dark of color, in an attempt to veil the marks. Still a pleasing quarter and worth a decent bid. View details	Realized $575
Lot 690		1825/4 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. VF-20. Silvery gray in color with loads of "dirt" in the devices attesting to the uncleaned nature of this coin. Problem-free and choice for the grade. View details	Realized $230
Lot 691		1828 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. VF-35. Darkly toned in an attempt to cover over faint pin scratches in the fields. Natural in appearance, but should be inspected. View details	Realized $242
Lot 692		1831 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. Small letters. AU-50. Lightly circulated, but enough to receive the usual tick marks in the fields and on the devices, which have toned down a bit with antique gold color. Still lustrous and well struck. View details	Realized $368
Lot 693		1832 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. AU-50. With excellent eye-appeal and luster in the fields. Probably cleaned, but not to its detriment. Well struck. View details	Realized $403
Lot 694		1833 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. Sharpness of AU-50 No net grade. Re-engraved extensively on both sides. We would guess this was a practice coin for some aspiring artist who was obviously in training when this coin passed through these amateur hands. Acceptable at arms length, but leave it there, bringing it close doesn't help. Retoned a natural appearing gold and gray. View details	Realized $219
Lot 695		1834 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. EF-45. A lovely coin for the grade, naturally toned with light silver colors, well struck and without problems of any kind. View details	Realized $184
Lot 696		1835 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. EF-40. Moderate circulation marks but nicely toned with gold around the periphery and silver at the centers. View details	Realized $173
Lot 697		1835 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. EF-40. Glossy surfaces probably from an old cleaning, but nicely and naturally toned a golden gray color with deeper blues at the rims. A rare die variety that shows a sharp die crack through D STATE on the reverse. Well struck and a worthy coin to purchase for a specialized variety collection. A few minor marks can be seen with a glass, but nothing significant. View details	Realized $161
Lot 698		1836 Capped Bust Quarter Dollar. VF-35. Lightly cleaned to a still too bright gray tone, with resulting hairlines in the fields. View details	Realized $161
