1804 Draped Bust Quarter. B-1. Rarity-3. VF-25 (PCGS).
This is a handsome coin, with both sides warmly toned in a blend of slate-gray, steely-rose and cobalt blue. Generally smooth with no sizeable marks beyond an old scratch over the eagle's head. All design elements are boldly outlined with appreciable sharpness remaining in some of the recesses. The first quarter dollar produced in the United States Mint since 1796, and the first issue in the Heraldic Eagle portion of the Draped Bust series, the 1804 is also a key date coin with a mintage of just 6,738 pieces. Browning-1, offered here, is the more frequently encountered of the known die marriages. It is readily attributable by the presence of a die scratch (as made) on the obverse in between stars 8 and 9.
