Lot 290
1806 Draped Bust Quarter Dollar. 6 over 5. PCGS graded MS-63. Mottled gray and gold toning on both sides with brighter areas peeking through from underneath. Sharply struck by the dies with virtually full details on Liberty's upper hair curls and all the breast feathers sharp on the eagle. The overdate feature is clear too, with the underlying 5 quite evident under the ball of the 6. PCGS has graded only 4 this high, with 3 higher of this famous overdate (best MS-65). A rare type coin in grades even approaching mint state, and very difficult to locate in grades such as the choice example awarded here.
Estimated Value $12,000 - 14,000.
