That makes sense. The issue that might arise is if someone swaps out a coin from one set and puts something somewhat similar in its place. I don't know that this would happen often, but it is possible. Your coin absolutely looks like it came from an original US mint set.
Another addition to the set today. Out of 134 graded in 67 between PCGS & NGC only 26 received a green bean which is just shy of 20%. I Had to snag this one because I've found it hard to find 60's dates in high grade that aren't either blast white or have lots of hits in higher grade. I don't have it in hand yet, but It does seem to have some nice color, and I always try to get something nicely toned even if its subtle.
Preliminary photos as I just got it in hand, when I have time ill take some nice pics of it. Photos don't do justice it actually has alot of color! Purples!
(the scratchs are on the slab not the obverse.)
One of the few coins that surpassed expectation's from photos of what it looks when bought online.
Your images make the coin appear nicer than the SB images. I was not sold on the coin at all from the SB images, which is why I asked about new images. On both sets of images I believe there is a fingerprint on the reverse, is this really the case?
Your guess about the fingerprint is as good as mine, looks to be.
Here are some photos, experimenting with lighting currently. Quickly shot these.
Its got some nice Purples, Blues & Pinks. Upon further analysis it does indeed have several hits on the obverse but not on the cheek of Washington or forehead area .
Anyone Here Own a 1964-D Type C Reverse? Would love to see photos. Also interested in if anyone has any further details as to its history/amount minted
I had one in my former set. I sold it on GC a couple of years ago. Here are the images. Easiest thing to see are the tail feathers. The extra vein is very prominent.
I love my 36-D! Looking to auction the whole UNC set soon.
Still have the Stacks NYC sales receipt from 1967 where it was bought along with the 32-D and 32-S.
Here's the sales slip cropped for anonymity. Adjusted for inflation, that would be $5,661.72 not bad for the three keys of the set.
New additions to the Set. 41-S in 67+ CAC & 47-D in 67+ CAC. Also a 67 CAC 47-D toned NGC. 41-S Will compliment the recently acquired 41-D. If I can find a nicer toned 41-S then ill try to get one. 47-D has nice luster from looks. Will have it in hand mid this week.
Update upon arrival they look even better in person. The 41-S has this bluish hue and incredible luster. 47-D also very lustrous and awesome. I also received the 67 CAC 47-D which I saw and picked up because of the nice original toning and luster underneath it. This may have very well came from an original mint set based on the type of toning.
The Set is slowly coming together. Every time I see something I really like I will try my best to grab for this set.
Your '64-D looks like it has real toning. I point this out because in my experience the majority, perhaps vast majority, of 1959-1964 toned WQs with significant toning certified by PCGS and NGC are AT. I believe yours is legitimate.

Wow. Interesting, do you have any examples for those that are straight graded & AT? For this one the reverse gives it away for being real toning. I noticed another 64-D in MS68 with very vivid colors. I've definitely seen a crazy MS68 toner that sold on GC that I questioned. I think it was even Cac'd!
Recent Addition. This 55-D in 66 CAC. Nice luster & Original skin. It has a brown residue which I've found from OBW roll Quarters.
From my understanding this is a very tough date to find in high grades.

Anyone else have a 55-D/Would love to see ?
Nice. Yours definitely has "original skin". Here's mine. I'm not particularly fond of it. I bought it off GC a few years ago, and still haven't found an upgrade.
The '55-D is a tough coin to find in high grade. It might be a combination of overall less luster than many other years with the fact that the original mint sets from those years did not typically tone the coins in very attractive ways, which together might suppress the grade range.
@Goob it's always good to see branch mint 1930s WQs!
Pretty clean 48 & I can see a hint of toning. Usually not a big fan of the newer anac grades/holders but that seems to be a well graded/rounded coin. Nice!
@Matt04 said:
Nice! I think thats mint set toning. Also the older pcgs holders are cool. Ever send it to CAC?
No, I never submitted this one. I can’t recall if there was a specific reason why I held it back. Perhaps it’s worth a shot regardless, given the steep value differential between grades that you pointed out.

I'm glad you like my coin!
It actually surprised me when I got it in the mail because the listing images while being decent, they really didn't make the coin look that nice.

I would be interested in seeing better images of that coin.

Will do, once I get it ill be photographing it

I love it. What do they all grade?
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Heading to our host for grading.
The 1952 is the superbird variety.
New additions to the Set. 41-S in 67+ CAC & 47-D in 67+ CAC. Also a 67 CAC 47-D toned NGC. 41-S Will compliment the recently acquired 41-D. If I can find a nicer toned 41-S then ill try to get one. 47-D has nice luster from looks. Will have it in hand mid this week.
The 1941-S looks phenomenal.

I think the NGC graded '47-D was from an original US mint set.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Couldn't pass up this 64-D in 67+ CAC. This piece completes the 1964 P & D for the collection.

No, I'm not going to call another coin out like that at this time when I am only writing my opinion.

Nice. Yours definitely has "original skin". Here's mine. I'm not particularly fond of it. I bought it off GC a few years ago, and still haven't found an upgrade.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
My WQs are all ANACS-graded but here are some of my latest ones that I really like
