Yeh, it's low grade and the reverse looks like a goose pizza, but the obverse still has a nice complete portrait and a teeny bit of cleavage, an eye and a hair or two.
Didn't want one bad enough to go into five figures.

30 years? No way.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Very attractive classic coin. I enjoy the wild looking hair this design has.

Love the overlook too, but you think this looks GD4?

Perfect example for the grade. I like it a lot.

Great looking piece of history, well traveled.
Typo or Freudian slip? Yeah, I can relate!
Edited to add: awesome acquisition for a very tough one year type piece... thanks for sharing.

Very nice 1796 Quarter!
I think it's graded right. Another trip to the store and I think she'd be gone.
The 1796 quarter is a cool coin. It’s the first year of the denomination; one year type coin; the only quarter with the Small Eagle design type; the only US quarter minted in the 18th century; first year type coin; etc.
There are a lot of reasons to include it in your collection which is very cool!
very cool

Beautiful and original...one of my favorite coins

There’s a lot of coin there for the grade. This would be my sort of coin should I get up the courage & funds to chase one someday. Very cool. Enjoy it.
Don’t you think ever posted a pickup I didn’t love you have some great stuff and this is a fine addition to it
I am. For some reason ever since I was a kid, whenever I spoke of "rare" coins I always referred to "a 1796 quarter" as at the time it seemed nothing could ever be rarer.
But...... as I said in the OP, I didn't want to get real spendy on one.
When I saw this one and the decent obverse, I had to get it.
For some reason the grade doesn't displease me at all.
Of course lately I'm tending to buy coins with a modicum of "risk consideration." For my regular "new" philosophy, I'm sticking with gold unless, like this one, I get seduced.
You did get a Good-4 for the obverse, which is the more important side.
sssshhhhhh....
