Grade the 1978 Proof 25¢

This is a raw coin, so no idea on the actual grade. Let's see what you come up with. It's not behind anything, it's sitting naked on my desk so any descrepencies are there.

What's the mark to the right of George's neck? I really like the pic of the reverse. I'll say 67DCAM, maybe 68. I'd have to see it.

If the scratch XpipedreamR noted is as bad as it looks to me and the gouge below that isn't dust I'd guess 65 DCAM. 1978 is a good year for extra frosty proofs. It seems as if the Mint was making up for the lack of frost in the early 70s

That so called scratch is really brought out by the camera, it's very hard to see in person, you have to tilt it just right then it's there faintly.

Hairlines are almost always the limiting factor for proofs of that vintage. Almost every 78 Washington I've ever seen is dcam. PCGS hates hairlines, and will almost always limit a coin with hairlines to the 65 range or lower. I agree with Carl. PR65 Dcam.
