***Auction Highlight*** 1806 Browning-9 Draped Bust Quarter 25c Graded Select Unc By USCG. Wisps of apricot, gunmetal-gray, and sky-blue color grace this unmarked and impressive Draped Bust Quarter. The motifs are overall well struck and boldly rendered. The surfaces are largely pristine, a planchet flaw at the rim above the letter T in LIBERTY and a few light striations over Liberty's portrait are as made. Characteristic (for the B-9 variety) die cracks are evident on both sides, with a noteworthy rim cud also present at 12 o'clock on the reverse. This outstanding early quarter would serve as a highlight in even the finest numismatic cabinet. Now a mainstay denomination familiar to all, this was not the case for the quarter dollar in the beginning. The denomination was first struck four years after it was authorized by the Mint Act of 1792 and, possibly due to lack of demand from bullion depositors, was not struck again until 1804. Robert Scot's Draped Bust Heraldic Eagle design was utilized beginning in that year and the mintage barely exceeded that of 1796. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
