I need two quarters to complete my set of early quarters. The 1796 and the 1823. Neither of which I will ever attain I am sure, but I would sure like to see what you all have. I will live vicariously through you!

    I apologize to the long time members on the board because I have posted this coin at least a half dozen times over the years, but it is my only 1796 quarter and I am fulfilling the request of another member-

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Mine falls into the "affordable" category, being heavily worn, but at least I have one that isn't holed or tooled. It's also the the scarcer B-1 variety.

    Nice for a AG... I think

    What does the reverse of your 1796 look like, QuarterCollector, because that coin is much nicer than the typical AG3.

    Does that mean you have the 1827? image

    The 1827 isn't included in the registry set.

    I just posted this 1796 Quarter on a "What is your lowerst graded PCGS coin" thread. I bought it raw over 20 years ago from a Boston bid wall, The Worthy Coin Company. At the time there was also EF example offered at the same sale, but I could not afford that one. This one is a PCGS VF-25. One well-known coin dealer has been after me for 20+ years to sell it to him so I guess it must be an nice example for the grade.

  • jdillanejdillane Posts: 2,365 ✭✭✭
    I suspect that the AG3 and F2 specimens both have reverses that solidly represent the grade on the holder.

    As requested, here is a picture of the reverse.
