    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!

    I agree with the OPs, that is an AMAZING coin. Plus, a pop 2 coin!!! I love it!!!!

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