What do you guys think? looks like nice mint set or envelope toning to me, what would PCGS say?

    You have some nice greens so it might make it.

    Quarter looks ok to me. Toning seems natural and very pleasing.

    Go for it. Bear

    Baley, that looks like a nice original tone to me. I would think it will grade in the ms65 area and the eye appeal looks great.

    ms-64 unless the luster is much nicer than looks in the digipic. i could definitely see a plastic company stupidly refusing to slab it, frankly, i'm not sure why you'd want to! it is a beautiful coin that looks exactly like it should, unencumbered by a big, ugly slab.

    nice coin!

  • Probably will get slabbed, guess at MS65

    I love Ike dollars and all other dollar series !!!

    I also love Major Circulation Strike Type Sets, clad Washingtons ('65 to '98) and key date coins !!!!!

    If ignorance is bliss, shouldn't we have more happy people ??
  • Looks real to me but the coin must have been in a paper envelope. The 59 mint sets were in the mint sealed cellophane if im not mistaken. Only misgivings I have is that it is the same on both the obverse and reverse. That leaves me slightly worried.

  • Thats one pretty quarter, I'd say MS 65. Good Luck

  • Yes it will get a plastic home, but I would think a High 64 unless the coin has attributes unseen in the photo

    Looks like nice natural toning to me, you shouldn't get it back in a BB. Can't really give you a grade, I stink at grading Washingtons. image
  • I agree with Eagle7 (hes much, much better than Eagle6 by the way, that guy was lame) when he said that the same toning on obverse and reverse made him nervous - looks odd. Isn't that uncommon on one of these multi-colored jobs? (as opposed to a 'touch of gold around the rims' toned piece).

    On the other hand, most of my Washingtons are milk-chocolate colored.

    The coin is pretty but, on my monitor, it shows no greens and comes up with purples and oranges. Given that, I think there is a good chance that the coin would be bagged. I'm not saying it's AT, I'm saying that the grading services might not holder it.

  • I have to agree with Tom, my monitor shows the same colors so it is a toss up as to whether they would slab it or not. I cannot tell from the picture but unless it is a high grade it might not be worth taking the chance.

    I see purple and orange also. Not typical colors for a 1959 coin.

    If the colors are light enough, then I would say it will be slabbed. If it is heavy like the old mint sets, then probably a body bag.
