1796 Quarter Dollar Obverse     1796 Quarter Dollar Reverse


1796 QUARTER DOLLAR -
BROWNING 1

Rarity: Very Rare

Notes:
This was the only use of the obverse die.

The reverse die of this variety was also used on:
1796 Browning 2

The easiest way to tell the two 1796 obverses apart is by comparing the relationship of the E and the R of LIBERTY to the hair curls
