  Absolutely amazing how a coin can improve [or deteriorate] with the passage of time
  
  Nice coin BTW. Congrats on the upgrade.

  They've probably improved in the past 25 years... heck, now with the plus grading the grading companies are consistently accruate to within 0.1 of a grading point.

  They must have thought it was an 1804 dollar, not an 1805 cent.....

  Hey Spooly!
  
  Nice upgrade.

  New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

  1) Glad you're back and well
  2) This, plus your comment re your NGC coppers, are good examples of inconsistent grading. Caveat emptor.
