1804 Draped Bust Quarter. B-1. Rarity-3. VF-30 (PCGS). Attractively toned in a blend of olive and lavender-gray patina, with faint hints of peach on the high points. Outwardly smooth with no sizeable or otherwise individually distracting abrasions, an old scratch at Libertys bosom is spotted beneath a glass. A nicely centered strike and ample traces of luster round out an impressive list of attributes for this key date Draped Bust quarter.There are only two die pairings that were used to produce the limited strikings of 1804 quarters. After a long hiatus since 1796, the quarter denomination was brought back to life with this issue. Today, collector pressure for a nice example remains exceptional as the high degree of romance associated with 1804-dated coinage has created a huge collector demand. Furthermore, Draped Bust quarters simply did not survive in high numbers above the grade of Very Fine. There are a few Mint State and high circulated grade coins known, but the numbers available to most collectors amount to only a handful at the grade of EF-40 and finer. Thus the present VF-30 example is tailor made for a high grade collection and will undoubtedly please any quarter specialist.
