1796 Quarter Dollar Die Variety Set

While going through one of my Gallery Mint Museum archive sets I found this group of 1796 quarter-dollar replicas we stuck. Trying to stay true to the period of the originals, we used a simple water-hardening steel (W1). The quarters needed much more pressure than the thick coppers we’d been producing so the dies would cave in short into the run. it took several die failures to figure out that the hardening didn’t go deep enough. Coincidentally this paralleled the early US Mint experiences in its early stages. 
This set is the near complete set of die varieties from that fiasco MINUS "P" which was a proof issue. Most of those dies failed after around 75 pieces. We are offering all of these die varieties as one complete set.
