Just received an e-mail from Rick Snow's outfit about our own CCF member bandsdean's ebay find, the 1804 Bust Quarter for a cool $55,000. Good luck my friend, and hope you parlay your good fortune to many more numismatic adventures. Couldn't have happened to a better fellow and life-long numismatic enthusiast!  For now it is listed on Rick's homepage. Direct link is not working. https://www.indiancent.comAlso on ebay if you want to spend $58,300 for the same thing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1804-25C-D...AOSw4PxZ86lYIN 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."

Looks like only the home page link will work from external sites. Odd.

My guess is that he consigned it to Rick.
