She came in as change

A 1972 D quarter! She is gorgeous just like she came from the roll yesterday.

Thought you'd like to know you can still 30 year old PL in change.

I got a toned 1987-D dime at the cafeteria... cool! Can't decide whether I want to keep it, or redeem it in a roll...hmmm...

I got a 1964 quarter in change a while ago but it was pretty beaten up.

I got a 1965 quarter in change that is an incredibly lustrous AU58; it must have sat in a roll for many years. I wish I could have caught it before it got a little rub.

Most of the pre 1983 quarters are now statistically gone from circulation above XF.
People do things which confound the statistics of course like spend coin collections
or cut up mint sets. Since you say it's PL it seems likely that this one came from a mint
set. There are still some '65, and '76 high grade quarters in circulation and the '72-D
is the last of the others to have disappeared. Nice attractive AU eagle reverse quarters
of any date are getting decidely difficult to find in pocket change. When one is located
it will almost always be a '98 or a '96. AU's from '89 to '93 are surprisingly hard to find
and may be a little softer than other dates.

I got a Rhode Island state quarter in change that was barely recognizable. It looked like it had been worn down to a VF30 grade.. and that was BEFORE the truck must have ran over it a few times.

I've noticed a lot of very nice 1960's-1980's cents showing up in change recently, looking as if they'd just come out of fresh rolls. I wonder if Coinstar has anything to do with that.
