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.
