Lot 300
1806 Draped Bust Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded EF-45. Here is clearly the highlight of this extensive quarter variety collection. Not only is this a very rare variety, still rated as Rarity-6 (13 to 30 known) but this one is the third finest record! An impressive coin in every way, the surfaces are toned a deep steel blue with gray highlights. We do note a dull scrape in the middle right obverse field, and a couple of others around the last star, and another probably related to these marks is another just below the tail of the eagle, and these will serve to identify this rare coin in the future. Sharply struck and well centered. This is the "a" reverse die state, with a light crack through the tops of NITED, and ST, as well as the die crack from the rim to the second wing feather down on the left wing of the eagle.
Estimated Value $1,800 - 2,500.
