Mid-Winter ANA2000

详细说明: 1796 No Stars. BD-2. NGC graded Mint State 62. Of the greatest importance to serious collectors, the 1796 No Stars Quarter Eagle is one of the most distinctive and highly regarded of all design types in United States coinage. The difference between the No Stars and With Stars Quarter Eagles is not simply one of the addition of stars to the No Stars die, as one might expect. Rather, each is a separately produced variety, the With Stars having differing characteristics than the presence of stars. The obverse takes on the appearance of a medal, set as it is in an unadorned tondo and lacking any peripheral devices other than the word LIBERTY at the top of that side. The obverse is mostly bright greenish gold while the reverse shows significant portions of reddish patina splashed about the side. A few minor adjustment marks noted on the lower right side of the obverse and the upper right edge of the reverse. This coin is markedly superior to nearly all known examples. Currently, the population is 2 in 62, only are finer. (NGC holder 224585-001)
