Last purchase of the year. Common but cool, imho.

Arrived today.
Inexpensive fun.
I'm a sucker for a little crackled pastel.
Happy New Year everyone.

    @sparky64 I may be crazy, but it may be a clashed die...look at the lower portion of the 4 on the date...looks like an inverted "S", but it is too small for the reverse legend UNITED STATES of AMERICA and it is too low for E PLURIUS UNUM.

    Love the toning. Very attractive. A little surprised it made 66 with all those hits on the cheek, although that would not have stopped me from buying it.

    Nothing is as expensive as free money.

    Standards have changed. Even 67+ coins can have a mark or two in prime focal areas nowadays. Luster and eye appeal are the trump cards.

    That is sweet looking quarter, I like that it has uniform toning on both sides.

    Nice quarter. The toning sets it apart from the rest.

    Good eye.
    It's difficult to see in hand with what it looks like in the TV.
    In hand with a 10x loupe, I would say it looks like a small chip and some metal displacement.
    Pics can be funny. I've seen TV's that look like strong doubling but there is none.

    Love that crackling rainbow toning... nice last pick up of the year!

    Sweet quarter! Could that be a little bit of die rust on the 4? I haven't seen die rust on a coin of that late a date before, but perhaps quality control slipped a little with the huge 1964 dated mintages.

    Beautiful Quarter....what's not to love about that toning.
