Okay. If I have this straight, the 1956 received an MS67 from PCGS. I believe I had guessed this coin at MS67+. Therefore, the post with the 1932-D was not meant to mean that the 1932-D received an MS67. Whew!
If the images are accurate for the 1932-D then it is a coin that I am not a fan of. The surfaces are very clean and devoid of marks. Also, the type of toning really makes it appear to have a superior strike for the date, though I am not certain the strike is, in actuality, all that much better than what is usually found. However, the tobaccos stain toning that the coin features is not the type that I find "attractive" and is not the type that I generally see rewarded at PCGS.
In my opinion, and please keep in mind that my opinion is based upon these images and that you appear to have requested input, I see this coin as an MS63 or hard to sell MS64.
First purchase in 6 months and picked up from Pinnacle Rarities. I have been struggling trying to find my last three coins to finish my set. So decided while I wait I am going to start to upgrade the 5 rattler holders in the set.
I have 20 being graded right now at PCGS plus a 64 Kennedy proof and a Jefferson nickel. I'm hoping to be able to post something soon. The 39 NorCalJack posted is beautiful!
I sent in the Jefferson Nickle from this original, unopened, complete 1962 proof set to PCGS for grading. PCGS grades posted for it yesterday and the Kennedy from an unopened 1964 proof set. The Kennedy got PR69CAM and the Jefferson Nickle they are saying it has Altered Surfaces..? This is an absolutely beautiful coin that has never been tampered with. I am going to contact PCGS today to see what can be done. Any suggestions?
Thanks for the PM's. I will send to NGC with an explanation and see what happens. I will post a picture of the coin for those wanting to see an "altered surfaces" Jefferson .05c straight from the Denver Mint..
I didn't win but was bidding. The auction starting lagging for me when refreshing starting at 40 seconds. It is the second time I have missed my last bid at GreatCollections. I wonder how much higher the auctions would close if they had soft closes that extend auction 1 or 2 minutes with new high bids?
A very nice type B, but I checked NGC and they already have 2 1959s in MS67.

Well, you had several weeks to bid. I like sniping too, but sometimes you lose. Me, I often forget to put my bid in and get busy doing something else.
Yes, it was a pretty coin and an unlisted type B in MS67 would have made the pop 3/0. It got pretty pricey at the end too!
I realize I had weeks to bid, my first bid was April 21. The winner got their last bid in with 1 second to spare. My max bid would not have made the next increment and would be the same winner. I am not really disappointed.

It received a MS67. What about this 32D?
This one is at PCGS. Anyone care to voice their photo grade opinion? Feel free please!
I'm not certain I understand the post with the image of the 1932-D WQ. Did it receive a grade of MS67?

They gave a 67....

MS64 is my guess

I will be happy with 64 or higher. It really looks better in hand. I will post a picture when I get it back from PCGS. Thanks for the feedback
Bump... Anything new??

Grades posted today and they gave it a MS63. Out of 4 WQs they received a 63,66,66 and ,67+.. not a bad day.
@KaleidoscopeQuarters K, It is so nifty to see Washington Quarters in those grades! What is the date-mint of those 4 next to those grades?
A Barber Quartet is made up of Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, and Halves.
32D-MS63, 45P-66,54S-66, 54S-67+
I have 32 more being graded, but 5 are franklin halves and the remaining 27 are modern WQs.
From the Pogue auction. NonCAC
Sorry, MS67
WOW
Is that a lobotomy or a cranial die crack? That is one heck of a coin!

@NorCalJack .... the color is mesmerizing. I see why you like it!

This one is certainly in my top five favorites. The gradient is just phenomenal IMO. In a 66 holder.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
This is one of my personal favorites. A 51S in 67+.
I say 66+ at least..
The 1951-S WQ has some of the best frost in the entire silver series and you can really see it pop out on the reverse of your coin, KQ.

Nice coin. The 1939 issues are often found with great surfaces and intact skin.

Bump. Any cool Washington Quarters lately?

Here's my favorite modern WQ.
I havent picked up a WQ in some time, but there have been some really nice ones sell on GC. I think that there are still a few to go this weekend.
Wowzers!

What do you guys think of this beast? Not mine, but I cant think of any others that have numerically graded better.

How tough is it really to locate Gem '56-P Type B's?

I think they need to rename the PCGS Set Registry to the DL Hansen Registry..
Any neat Washington Quarters coming up for auction?

Nothing I am looking for, but quite a few high dollar 68s
There was a 55 D in NGC MS67*+ CAC that sold for big bucks last week. I actually thought it would go for more though.

Yes, I liked that one a lot. I hope it crosses when I send it in.
I guess you were the winner?
Yes, but I really didn't think I was going to win it. I guess we will see what happens with PCGS. Regardless it's worthy of the grade imo.
Anyone here win this one? Was hoping it would fly under the radar but not so...
I didn't win but was bidding. The auction starting lagging for me when refreshing starting at 40 seconds. It is the second time I have missed my last bid at GreatCollections.
