1806 Draped Bust Quarter — PCGS AU50 (Philadelphia). A classic early U.S. silver type coin, this non-overdate 1806 quarter represents the most accessible and collectible date in the Draped Bust Quarter series. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the Jefferson era and bearing Robert Scot’s iconic Draped Bust obverse and Heraldic Eagle reverse, it combines historical significance with genuine scarcity in higher grades.
Why collectors choose the 1806 non-overdate:
Among Draped Bust Quarters, the 1796 and 1804 are rare and costly, the 1805 is elusive in high grade, the 1806/5 overdate is scarcer, and the 1807 is often weakly struck. The 1806 non-overdate stands out as the best-balanced choice for a type set—semi-scarce yet obtainable, with comparatively better availability in attractive grades.
PCGS CoinFacts notes that while true Mint State examples exist, demand for early type coins keeps prices strong; the date’s top condition census spans MS64–MS65.

Collector notes:
AU50 presents honest, even wear on the high points with strong remaining detail in Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s wings, clear legends, and well-defined rims—an ideal balance of originality and eye appeal for a foundational early-quarter type.
Hand-press production and variable striking pressure in this period make well-detailed pieces especially desirable; the 1806 non-overdate is widely regarded as the most practical path to completing a Draped Bust Quarter type slot.
This PCGS-certified AU50 1806 Draped Bust Quarter offers a rare blend of historical gravitas, technical quality, and market liquidity—equally compelling for serious numismatists and for collectors building a premium early U.S. type set.
