    Where's the icon for "Thump Thump"?

    Prolly the single finest example of mint set toning I've seen on a 56D. Why don't you think it went 67? Is there a bunch fo microchatter that doesn't show in the pic?

    That is one fine looking WQ. Looking at my screen 66 seems to be a good call. Beyond the wonderful toning I see some hits that would likely keep it from 67.

    Glad you feller's like it - it's a 56-D and as such , pretty scarce with that kind of monster color .

    I know I have never seen anything like it .



    I crossed it years ago from a NGC holder.

    ...........I think many of us have seen "worse"
    in a PCGS 67 holder

    This is a NGC MS66 * Star 1955-D , it is also exactly as photographed , but the NGC holders don't photograph well if you ask me .

    It has chrome-like luster and I always thought it could be the first PCGS MS67 .............. I know , it's just a pipe dream , as it's got a couple hits and some hard

    color lines - but if you knew what I payed for this pig ; like me , you'd silently pray it could happen too image

    here's some with nice color, but they don't compare to yours...

    pcgs ms66, but I felt this one should have graded ms67 (I know pcgs doesn't grade ms67 with dark toning like on the reverse)

    very nice 56-D's .......... you just never really know what a toned quarter will get , as far as a grade , from the TPG's

    you mean PCGS has still not graded this date MS67 yet?? i remember many years ago, perhaps back in 2002-2003, that a few of the Washington Quarter members were puzzling over who would get that grade and whether the coin would top $10K or some such mythical number. your coin is sure clean with only a few scattered marks on the devices of either side and nothing i see clearly in the fields, just a pleasant coin.

    my only qualifier is that Washington Quarters are the hardest for me to grade. after several Marty 58's on coins i saw as Monsters i gave up!!image
