Got this one today. The coin is uncirculated, but the obverse is a bit baggy.

    Don't be to hard on yourself, from where I'm standing the coin looks ms64 to me... and nice toning to boot!

    That is a beautiful coin. The pickup points are there. But ignoring those, just the toning outlining the bottom edge of the wings show that it is unquestionably a variety 2 (or as Walter Breen renamed it - type B).

    I remember going through a hundred dollar groups of quarters in the early sixties. I would see a few that looked like this. I would excitely take a closer look because they were different. Alas, I would see they were very woirn and not worthy of further thought. A blast white coin willl not jump out at you. It was a shame I didn't know anything about them then.

    I like it. The strike looks pretty good on my screen. Nice.

    That's a nice coin. None of the uncirculated ones I've found have had any toning whatsoever- I'd love to find one with toning like yours!

    Yes, these are not often found w/nice tone.

    I just sent a superb white 1960 off to PCGS that I fully expect to grade MS66+.
