Wait until you read the toning on this quarter....

No, the title is not a typo. I mentioned this coin in my WESPNEX show report, it's a nicely toned 1956 Washington Quarter. The reverse has speckled green and red toning which came up brown in my photo.
Here's the neat part: on the obverse you can see two lines of backwards text which are untoned, which must have been printed on the envelope in which this was stored. I can make out 'Quot' across his shoulders, there is another word through his hair and forehead which I couldn't decipher or get to photograph.
This coin reminded me of a spectacular Walker someone once posted here with the word 'DEPARTMENT' reversed in the toning. If someone has the image I'd love to compare it to this coin.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
