PCGS gave me a MS66 on this GEM, it has the color and luster of a MS67, which is what I was trying for...

    Nice coin, but I have to agree with the 66.

    its color is amazing. I like the looks of it but see the 66. theres a little scratch on the very bottom of the bust on the obv. The rev. looks 67 and so does the overall look. I like it awhole lot.

    keep in mind that you are grading from a highly detailed blownup image..

    You might be surprised how many 'flaws' I would find on a coin that has graded MS67 with one of my images..


    This coin to the naked eye, surely wouldn't look out of place in a Ultra Gem MS67 Holder...

    I'll give you a 67 on it, if that makes you feel any better.

    That's a beaut- it's always strikes me how cool the old washington quarters are compared to the modern version with the flat relief and spaghetti hair...

    the strike is a tad soft, noticable on the Reverse...


    67's are usually hammered, though I have seen some like this specimen in 7 holders...

    Nice korter Lucy! I wish I had one like that!

    Jeez!

    It seems like forever since I've seen you post!

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Well that explains his improved grammar. image

    Still, we miss you around here. Love to see some more of those great Frankies of yours.

    You're the reason I started collecting them (and have spent so much on Cameo proofs as well).

    I've really gotten attached to old Baldie over the last few years.

    BTW, I thought it was almost 1958, are you sure or do I need a new calendar?

    great coin, I agree with the 66, the tick on the cheek just can't be there with a 67.

    Super nice coin. Love those pink splotches. image

    Never seen you post that one before.

    I've never seen a '51 Bugs Bunny either. Didn't know they even existed.

    Earliest I have is a fairly common '54. Though I do have a purple one and an orange one, both sides toned. They make nice bookends to each other.

    I've only known of the '54, '55 and '56.

    Is there one every year back to '51 or do they even precede that?

    to the best of my knowledge 51 is the earliest of the known specimens....
