Bought this one on a whim a couple of years ago, and it's the one that kickstarted the idea to build a toned set of silver Washingtons. It's one that I cannot envision myself ever parting with, but certainly not anytime soon. PCGS MS67.
Bumping the thread... I saw a couple of PC68's up for sale recently... a '41-D, '46-S, and a '47-S at DLRC. The '41-D has beautiful edge toning. The '46-S has a more holistic mesmerizing color blanket across the entire surface. They also have a tough '61-D in PC67+ worthy of a look.

Very impressive Stacks auction today. Congrats to Washington Rainbows. Amazing set with very strong prices! Good to see this set is getting it's due.
If anyone was able to pick up one or more, please feel free to brag and post a picture! Would love to see them again!
First congrats on your purchases. Tim I know you got a great deal on the 39 as even the auction guy was surprised the coin sold for cheap. I also thought about bidding on the 36 and glad it found a good home. Do you have a registry Set? Still struggling to find my last 3 and think i am just becoming to picky.
Now I went and checked to see if Washington Rainbows retired his sets and it looks to me like he just deleted the sets? Wonder why? I also wonder why so many folks sell there whole collection in one auction instead of maybe 2 or three? I talked to Dr Phillips yesterday and he had to work so did not bid on any coins. And of course Hanson has now taken over the top spot for the regular Washington Quarter set.
Anyone else notice any problems with the stack auction today? I waited to bid on the 1932 DDO m 64+ washington quarter and was bidding when all of a sudden it went back one lot and there was my bid for 725 now lucky for me someone else bid 750 and i waited and up popped the 32 and the bids were already up to 950. There was some sort of glitch with that auction. So who got the 32 ddo?
That's a great 1956 WQ! It looks too nice to be "just" an MS67. Unless it has booming luster, and I can't tell if it does not doesn't, it likely wouldn't be MS68. Therefore, I am comfortable with MS67+.
Okay. If I have this straight, the 1956 received an MS67 from PCGS. I believe I had guessed this coin at MS67+. Therefore, the post with the 1932-D was not meant to mean that the 1932-D received an MS67. Whew!
If the images are accurate for the 1932-D then it is a coin that I am not a fan of. The surfaces are very clean and devoid of marks. Also, the type of toning really makes it appear to have a superior strike for the date, though I am not certain the strike is, in actuality, all that much better than what is usually found. However, the tobaccos stain toning that the coin features is not the type that I find "attractive" and is not the type that I generally see rewarded at PCGS.
In my opinion, and please keep in mind that my opinion is based upon these images and that you appear to have requested input, I see this coin as an MS63 or hard to sell MS64.
First purchase in 6 months and picked up from Pinnacle Rarities. I have been struggling trying to find my last three coins to finish my set. So decided while I wait I am going to start to upgrade the 5 rattler holders in the set.
I have 20 being graded right now at PCGS plus a 64 Kennedy proof and a Jefferson nickel. I'm hoping to be able to post something soon. The 39 NorCalJack posted is beautiful!

Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Just received this back from PCGS. Was hoping for 67+, but got a 67
Wow! That's a heck of a lot of color!

I picked up this one. It’s a Pop 11/0 and is clean as can be except a little hit on the chin.
Holy Mackerel, that's a nice WQ!

Won this one today. A true 68 I.m.o.
That “39 is a gem! Congrats. I have yet to add a 68 to my silver collection. I’m jealous. Enjoy, it’s an awesome coin!
Here's my '39, in a 67 holder — any chance at a + or is that disturbance on the neck a dealbreaker?
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Photo grade is 67+ in my opinion. I would resubmit for sure.

GUESS THE GRADE!!
Just got this one back from PCGS. So, what do you think?

@KaleidoscopeQuarters MS66 is my guess.

It received a MS67. What about this 32D?
This one is at PCGS. Anyone care to voice their photo grade opinion? Feel free please!
I'm not certain I understand the post with the image of the 1932-D WQ. Did it receive a grade of MS67?

They gave a 67....

I will be happy with 64 or higher. It really looks better in hand. I will post a picture when I get it back from PCGS. Thanks for the feedback
Bump... Anything new??

Grades posted today and they gave it a MS63. Out of 4 WQs they received a 63,66,66 and ,67+.. not a bad day.
@KaleidoscopeQuarters K, It is so nifty to see Washington Quarters in those grades! What is the date-mint of those 4 next to those grades?

32D-MS63, 45P-66,54S-66, 54S-67+
I have 32 more being graded, but 5 are franklin halves and the remaining 27 are modern WQs.
From the Pogue auction. NonCAC
Sorry, MS67
WOW
Is that a lobotomy or a cranial die crack? That is one heck of a coin!

@NorCalJack .... the color is mesmerizing. I see why you like it!

This one is certainly in my top five favorites. The gradient is just phenomenal IMO. In a 66 holder.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
This is one of my personal favorites. A 51S in 67+.
I say 66+ at least..
The 1951-S WQ has some of the best frost in the entire silver series and you can really see it pop out on the reverse of your coin, KQ.

I havent picked up a WQ in some time, but there have been some really nice ones sell on GC. I think that there are still a few to go this weekend.
Wowzers!
