Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
<< <i>I have to fess up that 1962-D is now in the MOC 2 collection. By far the ptettiest 62-d I have owned. Couple minor hits on the bust of Washington will keep it out of a 67+ holder but certainly not distracting in the least. I am VERY happy I won this coin and had my max bid well above where it finally sold. >>

But I'll tell you what... I'm not exactly impressed with Teletrades write up! I consign a key date pop.2 coin and get zip for a description? No, I am not happy at all about that. >>
I was under the impression that consignors write their own descriptions. Perhaps a call to Teletrade is in order. >>
Man TT images use to suck! The infamous '62-d doesn't even appeal to me all that much with this image.
Now the HA images looks like a completely different coin. I was going back through this thread and re-reading, because I remember this thread well.
I was remembering this old thread and went back to look it over and the thing that was a real eye opener for me was the fact that the pop has grown one to seven.
So for the first 22 years of PCGS there was only one 1962-D MS67...
In the next five or six yrs, six more were made at PCGS!
Gradeflation? I think so. I am sure others may have other explanations; some with at least some validity.
But if you look at moderns in general, the pops have definitely climbed disproportionately in recent years.
<< <i>Yeah, gradeflation is noticeable in Franklins too. >>
VERY noticeable!
You remember PawPaul right? He had accumulated a ton of very eye appealing mostly MS65FBL PCGS Franklins over a span of about 20 years and then sold them off in the most recent last few years.
I can't believe how many of his coins I see now in 66, 66+, and even 67 holders.

Just my thoughts. It's an interesting thread. >>
Interesting that now that there are 7, and though the CU guide on this is $17,000, would this coin fetch anywhere near the $18,400 that it went for, and, does anyone know what the pop was when it sold for $18,400 in '12? Was it still 2, or higher??
I was recently offered a freshly made 62-D MS67 at around $13,000 or $14,000 as I recall. Only problem is similar later date pop 7 or 8 coins trade closer to $5,000 - $7,000 give or take. When the coin gets around or under $5,000, I will consider adding a nice quality piece to my collection.
By the way, I bought the pop 1 coin (62-D MS67) for $69 in an MS66 holder at a major auction with a pedigreed collection ($60 plus 15%). It upgraded to MS67 right away, but I let it go because it was brilliant and I was concentrating on a toned MS67 set at the time. If I recall correctly, a few years later, BM slabbed the pop 2 coin and sold it on TT. Those were the "good ole days" for silver Washington Quarters!

Edited to add: The 63-D MS67 also used to be a pop 2 or 3 coin not too long ago. Just a year ago (6/13), one sold at $9,400 in the Heritage sale. Tonight a white example just fetched less than $2,500 including buyers premium at GC. These are great times for careful buyers with cash!!
