'65 was a good year, too.
That's one of the few coins from my birthyear that I'd have any interest in holding on to.

That's between you and the seller.

Or in the case of this particular coin, when the 1964 and 1965 Quarters were being produced at the same time?

Do we know that there was a period of time during which dies dated both 1964 and 1965 were simultaneously installed in running presses, thus causing the two to be produced concurrently? I'd think that care would have been taken to make sure this didn't happen, as it would have easily produced the manufactured rarities that were to be avoided at the time.

<< <i>Awesome coin, and it's too bad it has such a distracting blemish right on the center of the obverse. >>
That could so easily be remediated.

I have read that the Mint continued to strike coins dated 1964 until early 1966 in order to exhaust their reserves of silver planchets. There are several known 1965-dated dimes and quarters on silver planchets, as well as the 1964 dime on a clad planchet mentioned below. I also recall seeing a 1965 cent struck on a silver dime planchet included in a major off-metal collection that was sold in the late 1970s, somewhere I have the catalog for that sale tucked away (I bet Fred Weinberg will know more about that one).

I sold one about 6 months ago.
I currently have it's 'mate' - a 1964 Cent on a Clad Dime Planchet, PCGS MS-63.
There are some very interesting combinations of 1964 & 1965 dated coins on
clad or silver planchets, etc.....

I'd suggest making a new thread with the picture, since a top grade transitional coin would have a much better discussion than being buried in this thread about an ugly coin that I stumbled across on eBay.

The brown on the obverse is toning, and could be removed easily, but I haven't fooled with it.
I recall that Stacks sold an MS-65 1965 Silver Quarter about 10-12 years ago (roughly).
That's the highest grade for either a dime or quarter, as far as I'm aware.....

I was actively roll searching during that time, and 1965 clad quarter began showing up in rolls in late summer/early fall of 1965. We were told that the mint was continuing to strike massive amounts of silver quarters dated 1964 in addition to the clads, that the silver quarters would never be rare, and that therefore we should not pull them from circulation and save them.
Naturally, I did as I was told.

Philadelphia was making clad quarters while Denver was making silver quarters.
