    Nice catch! Pretty coin, nice strike and centering with the PCGS label to boot! Ray

    And it only grades MS65??? How they come up with a grade for these type of errors, I'll never understand! Nice strike, no marks of any kind that I can see, great color and it's only a MS65!
    Very nice score, Mitch!

    "That's a nice coin Mitch but it's obviously a fake. "

    Mark just PM'ed and essentially told me he loved the coin. We discussed the color, which is obviously very unusual for the date, let alone for an off-metal planchet error. And, Leo, you are so right. I can't tell you how many errors I examine where I believe the coins are undergraded by a point or two - both PCGS and NGC coins. As far as this date of Wash quarter goes - gem 65 is a very high grade for one struck on a nickel planchet - they are usually found AU-55-MS64 tops. Thanks for the comments guys.

    P.S. Anyone buy a "wild" one as well recently?

    Looks like it toned like the nickel that it is.

    Maybe they look at the coin, not the image?

    Very nice...what's the face value???

    25 cents x 80 % =20 cents?

    The coin (in hand) has booming luster underneath the color (always better than "painted on" colors). Quite a remarkable specimen actually.
