    Incredible specimen. Never seen one that nice. Do you know how it compares to the other 68?

    That is a fantastic looking coin.

    Years ago while visiting relatives in So. Cal. I stopped by a local B&M shop and looked through SMS sets. A 1965 set had a quarter very similar to the one pictured in this post. I bought the set for bid, took it home and removed the quarter. The obverse of the quarter I picked up has obverse frost and mirrors like the obverse in the pictured coin [though on my coin the die polishing mark to the right of Washington is much less noticeable than on the pictured coin]. The reverse of the coin I picked up has reverse frost not quite as heavy as the frost on the pictured coin and has mirrors like the pictured coin.

    In short, I was incredibly lucky to snag a 1965 SMS quarter very similar in appearance to the pictured coin. It is one of my favorite coins and one day I will have it slabbed.

    That is a simply incredible coin. I was collecting back in 1965 and there was no publicity or reports of any such stunning coins. I expect that is because of the immense rarity of coins of that quality. It is truly amazing!

    It is even nicer in hand. I've searched thousands of 1965 SMS sets and have never seen an example that was even close.
