2017-S Silver Proof Quarters - Be Careful What You Are Buying

rogerdiehl

I sent this to PCGS. You will need to check the PCGS Numbers on the slabs very carefully. And the listed populations and Coinfacts won't help you. This post can be deleted when the problem is fixed.

Somebody better fix this fast. All of the clad 2017-S proof quarters are listed as “Type 2 – Silver, PR”, and some of the labels on the Silver quarters don’t have the word “Silver”.

All of the 2017-S proof quarters are incorrect in:
Population Reports, Washington America the Beautiful Quarters, PR
Population Report – like #620326
PCGS CoinFacts – like PCGS #620326

http://www.pcgs.com/pop/detail.aspx?c=1715&p=PR&t=3
Washington America the Beautiful Quarters (2010-2021) Population Report

These are all really clad quarters but are listed as silver:

620326 - 2017-S 25C Effigy Mounds NP, DC
620331 - 2017-S 25C Effigy Mounds NP First Strike, DC
620688 - 2017-S 25C Effigy Mounds NP Birth Set - First Strike, DC
620882 - 2017-S 25C Effigy Mounds NP First Day of Issue, DC

The real “Type 2 – Silver, PR” is:

622709 - 2017-S PCGS PR70DCAM, Effigy Mounds NP – Silver

Another potential problem is like the 2017-S, PCGS PR70DCAM, George Rogers Clark coin on Ebay in http://www.ebay.com/itm/2017-S-Silver-Quarter-Proof-National-Park-5-Coin-Set-PCGS-PR70-DCAM-First-Strike-/332163436710?hash=item4d567bd0a6:g:EEEAAOSw4A5Y0yPu

It is really a Silver quarter – not a clad, but the label doesn’t have the word “Silver” on the label.
