I recently got this beauty from Mitch. The luster and frostiness are outstanding. Most of the marks are on the slab not
on the coin. PCGS MS65FBL. Mark.

    Wow - frostcaticus rex!

    Excellent addition to your collection Mark! I don't think I've ever seen quite as nice a 49D! The frost on that thing is blinding! Congrats!

    Mark: That really is a super coin! As you know, I won it for around $1750 at a major auction, but had closer to $3,000 to pay on it if I was run up (happily I wasn't), as I viewed it as an outside shot upgrade coin (and a blast white 66FBL of that date is worth a small fortune!). Tried it 2x walk-through at PCGS (didn't work) and then sold it at cost (actually $130 under). Just a fabulous "PQ" blast white gem FBL example of that date for your set. image

    I've never seen a blast white of this date. Now I have. Cool. Sweet coin!

    Now I've got really bad 49-D envy.

    Oldcameoproofsguy, I took a look at your proof Barber quarters. I don't think you need to envy anyone, but thanks for the compliment. mdwoods image

    I've got a 49-D NGC MS65FBL that has very light mint set toning. But it doesn't have near the luster of your coin. That thing is blinding!

    image You've got to polish them too to get that kind of shine. Turtle Wax works well. mdwoods
