    I got to see that 71 half, and the obverse looks just like the pic. It is white. Cool coin.

    If the reverse keeps that JFK at Cameo and you want to sell please do write me. That obverse sure is frosty! I really like the Quarter too!

    Wow, nice score. That 71 is just dripping with frost. I've never seen a 71 with that much frost. Add me to the list if you want to sell it!

    Ken: Both coins are gorgeous, but I'll have to say that the 1960 Silver Washington Quarter is really special since I know that the early 1960's proof silver coins are typically no that cameo frosty looking. Tht's got to be a lock cameo and a shot at DCAM.

    Very nice and astute purchases!! image

    The 60 quarter is definitely Dcam and zero hairlines or marks of any kind!!!!..image

    I just got back from viewing these (2) coins.All I can say is they are DCAM.As to grade I can't say because I'm no expert on either series.However they looked real good to me.If I had to take a guess I'd say at the very least PR68 minimum.

    That 71 half looks like the kennedys that are made today in the modern proof sets- very nice! I would be curious what grade it would be given by the top two. My guess would be that the reverse would keep it in a cam holder??
