Lot 294
1806 Draped Bust Quarter Dollar. PCGS graded VF-25. Mottled gray toning on both sides, and the surfaces are generally clean for the grade. As always, the central reverse show diagnostic weakness. We note some colorful blue toning splashes near the reverse rim. Something damaged the reverse die on this die variety, examination will note a small circular area on the lower left side of the vertical shield lines on this coin and the other examples of this die pairing as well. Probably in the top half dozen known today, although the census available is from 1998, where this coin would be tied for the second finest with one other at this grade level. Needless to say, this is an important and rare offering in a highly collectible grade.
Estimated Value $500 - 750.
