    Accepting the fact that this coin is really hard to find nice -- who thinks that this coin
    should be worth more than an MS 66 CAC $20 Saint, or a really attractive, scarce U.S.
    colonial? I know I don't.

    Coins are peculiar in that regard. I personally would take the Saint, but I completely understand why someone else would take the quarter. There are loads of MS 66 CAC Saints and apparently very few of the 56-D quarters in super high grade.

    The word is "excepting", as in making an exception. And since the quarter's value is tied to its
    conditional rarity, it hardly makes sense to evaluate its relative worth to more common
    coins without taking that into consideration.

    No, the word is "accepting" as in agreeing, stipulating. I do not know the Washington
    quarter series, so I have to accept the previous information posted by those that know
    more than I do as fact.

    You found all those great coins in only a 10 year search Tom? Man, what was I doing wrong image

    Well, you are welcome to your opinion, even if it is wrong...

    You were inviting a comparison between two coins while asking that a quality of one of
    them be withheld from consideration.

    That's my last post on the topic, since my intent was not to derail the thread, but to
    provide some free education. I happen to place a high value on the correct use of
    language. Apparently, many here do not. Cheers.

    After viewing the Tru-View photo ...

    Colorful but ugly, distracting toning on the obverse. The reverse is acceptable.
    All glory is fleeting.

    After seeing that pic .... I might need to tell the owner he needs to resubmit that coin to take a shot at an MS67+ grade before offering it for sale again!! image

    I like the toning. A far cry from the TT images.

    HUGE difference in the TT pics and TrueView pics.

    Given what I see in True View, that coin is a knock out. Man what a bad pick can do to detract from the sale of a coin. Not even close!!!

    For the high fees that TT charges, that is a horrible image.

    Nice original mint set piece. I don't know about it being an upgrade candidate however.
