1796 Draped Bust Quarter Dollar NGC MS61
An historic offering of this great rarity, the surface is deeply toned and pleasing to the eye, with only faint adjustment marks on the reverse. Nicely centered on a problem-free planchet. The 1796 Draped Bust, Small Eagle is a rarity famous for more than a century and a half. Collectors may want one when first starting out on their coin collecting careers, but it takes many years or decades before most collectors finally earn the wherewithal to acquire a choice specimen like this.

As the only issue in the Draped Bust, Small Eagle Quarter series, the 1796 is a must-have coin for the serious type collector. It is also a scarce date with a paltry original mintage of 6,146 pieces. Historically significant as a survivor of the United States' premier Quarter, this attractive MS61 example would make a valued addition to any collection. (#5310)
