First Washington purchase of 2017.....
Is that a Proof? It looks like my '57's "B".
Both are 1957's "B" Reverse Except, yours is a lot prettier with that " Bullseye Rainbow". Would any agree that my 57's both seem to be rotated? or at least the toned one, no?
These are the sellers pics. I have this one plus a handful of others with some great potential hopefully arriving by the end of the week. Can't wait to get them imaged.
Great color on that 1953-D! You are correct, the 1953-D US Mint cardboards in the mint sets did not produce stellar coins, but that one is really nice.
That's One Nice Colorful Type B . Also a nice Proof Rob and I agree some ebay pictures are worth the Chance. I picked off this 58 d because It looked like the D/D not yet listed in the CPG.
The seller left me feedback saying what a great eye I had for toning lol. Just got the coin this morning and really surprised at the difference from his pictures to the coin in hand and it is the d/d. Wish I could take pictures............

A 1964 SMS! That's rare! Got close-ups?
Nah, don't think I have close-ups. Sold the '64 SMS pieces I had in inventory a year or so ago. And yes, they are quite rare. They are key pieces for modern set collectors, though a large fraction are not even aware of them. About two dozen sets were produced as trials for the '65 SMS production in early 1965 using leftover unused dies from the previous year.

Nice 1964 SMS and that is a Dream Coin for me........Here is a Couple New Purchases that will be heading in to our host in a couple months.
Enjoy Tom
Well nice coins Tommy, but really you had to post a 57-D ?
I got this from a forum member a couple years ago. In my fledgling Registry.
Not a high grade for a common date but I like the toning and die polishing.
MS64
"If I say something in the woods and my wife isn't there to hear it.....am I still wrong?"
Here is one that might look like it has essentially no color, but the rims burst with what I consider true rainbow. It is in an OGH and these were sometimes produced with a plastic that caused a grain pattern upon imaging, which this coin shows slightly. The toning is primarily on the obverse near the date and LIBERTY, but the reverse is speckled throughout the lettering, as well.
I like coins like this one. In the 1990s one could find these with little or no premium attached, but they are nigh impossible to find today regardless of one's willingness to pay a premium.
My basic philosophy is that I'm willing to buy the occasional AT coin if the coin is a common coin, IMO it is attractive and I don't have to pay a significant toning premium. This one follows fits the parameters, as there were over 700 million 1964-D made, technically I'd grade it a 64+ and it cost me $10.

First Washington purchase of 2017.....
Gorgeous proof WQ!
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Thanks Tom! It is actually the first graded one I own. The rest are raw but none are especially toned. I saw it and thought I had to get it!
Beautiful photography and quarters all. Several of the pages took longer to download than a movie but it was worth it.

Looks like it was scanned. Giving it a muted look.?
I think they're just bad pictures and when properly photographed will explode with color. My guess is it will be similar to erwindoc's coin above.

How 'bout a 1967 SMS Washie?
Almost a Cameo, huh?
"Jesus died for you and for me, Thank you,Jesus"!!!
