    That doesn’t look right to me, and for that reason alone I’ll go with “not real”.

    Have to agree, that coin has an odd look to it.

    What about the other side?

    Looks strange for sure! ;)

    My guess would be a later die state where the frosting is starting to wear away and bad photo lighting.

    Real. These frost breaks are common when the die was unevenly frosted. The areas with less frost go brilliant faster than those with strong frost.

    DCarr said it well, real uneven frost exacerbated on the high points by cellophane or PVC contact

    I'm guessing I'm late.

    I like it :blush: it's frosty but it's thawing.

    Based on the grade I assume that the reverse is not cameo.
    The 1957 Washington Quarter proof issue is known for coins that have strong cameo contrast on the obverse and very little on the reverse.
