1806 Draped Bust Quarter. B-3. Rarity-1. EF-45 (PCGS).Smoky pewter-gray patina blankets both sides, direct lighting calling forth more vivid undertones of lilac-blue and golden-apricot. Libertys shoulder and the opposing area on the reverse (the eagles head, the star field and clouds) are softly struck, but otherwise we note suitably bold detail for a lightly circulated example of this challenging early U.S. Mint design type. Smooth in hand and eagerly awaiting inclusion in a type, date or variety set.
