In general, if we find the coin in question in the grading threads, which is often easy to do, we keep that to ourselves until the grade is revealed by the OP so that others visiting the thread can practice grading the coin and expressing an opinion without prior knowledge of the TPG service's grade. As Slider23 indicates, usually for about 48 hours. The goal is to help one another improve our grading skills. Having said that, what is your opinion of the grade before or after you saw the holdered grade? IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11990 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 2:21 pm Of course Slider. I liked the coin in the pictures and the price was right imho. As they say, but the coin, not the holder.

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1856 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 9:53 pm If your 1796's (!) are anything to go by......I would love to see your 1804 Draped Bust quarter now Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 10:50 pm A beauty for sure! I'm also curious what this one looks like in hand. Has a similar look as my Bust Dol. that NGC also called AU Details cleaned. Yours is much sharper. Looks like an old cleaning that has since toned over and I would definitely call market acceptable, especially considering the number of less original looking examples that make it into a straight grade. Great looking piece Report this Post to the Staff

I try to focus on acquiring the first date in a series and key dates if a nice one comes up for sale. Often unexpected things come up that are well priced and I love a bargain. A 1804 quarter (or dollar) that I like within my budget hasn't crossed my path.

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3845 Posts	Posted 06/28/2022 01:17 am Stunning is a bit of an understatement! While there appears to be a bit of wear, the strike looks really great. I see some other posts mentioning a cleaning, but to me it doesn't detract from the appearance. Congrats once again on an incredible acquisition! Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

KYCopperCoins Pillar of the Community United States 1361 Posts	Posted 07/07/2022 04:15 am I'd rather have that AU details coin than a F or VF in a straight grade slab any day, which is about what youd get for what you paid. There is more originality to me in that coin with a wiping than one that has had the metal eroded from a run in with pockets. Well done once again NS. Report this Post to the Staff
