Lot Title:
|
1935-D and 1936-D Washington quarters, PCGS MS-64.
|
|
Description:
|
Any Washington quarter enthusiast who enjoys gleaming white coins and has several key holes to fill needs to pay attention to this pair of very tough issues, both graded MS-64 by PCGS. The 1935-D bursts with shimmering, silver mint luster that is moderated at the extreme edges by rays of light golden tone. Vaguely apparent bagmarks limit this coin's grade. Accompanying is a 1936-D, the third key in the set, and this is a fantastic blast-white piece with blazing mint luster that is far nicer than usual for the issue. This coin appears to be fully "gem" at first glance, but further observation discovers slide marks on the portrait that mandate the assigned grade. Both coins are generally white, except for the light rim tone ascribed to the 1935-D. An important two coin lot.

1935-D PCGS MS-65.
|
|
1935-D might be the fifth and final real key to the Washington quarter series, at least in grades of MS-65 or so. That exact PCGS grade almost seems too low for an example of this caliber, with... |

1935-D NGC MS-65.
|
|
At the gem level, 1935-D might be the fourth most difficult Washington quarter to locate, exceeded by the two 1932s and 1936-D. Even 1937-S becomes more available in such a lofty grade. This... |

1935-D NGC MS-65.
|
|
Limited lilac-magenta patina does not inhibit scintillating luster in the slightest, but may help attenuate any of the small contact marks expected of the grade. Struck only with average detail. |
