Well interesting auction price as GC this last Sunday for a Unattributed Type B in MS 67 1959, which will be a New Top pop and there was a few folks who saw it and bidding went for over 5 Grand. Nice looking coin. I did pick up one coin from the Erasmus Hall Registry Set of Washington Quarters.
Enjoy Tom

Tom, Would PCGS MS-67 be the true entry point for higher-end Washington Quarter collecting? What would you say is the impact of CAC-stickered holdered WQ's? Some tougher dates maybe MS-65.

A unique favorite of mine. Light frost on the reverse2 -
Some of my CACs are closing the next couple of Sundays starting tomorrow. One of my personal favorites is the 40-D MD67+. The GC pictures are terrible. Here are 2 accurate pictures. Gorgeous coin in hand.

Some tougher dates maybe MS-65.I started my set 9 years ago and did not have the money I have today, so I started out with a lot of MS 66 coins because the MS 67 coins were to expensive. Than they added the plus to the grades well that is when the MS 67 became affordable and the big price jump was 67+. I like CAC coins but always just tried to buy coins I thought could upgrade. Now CAC coins seem to go for alot more than non CAC.

You really should have told Ian to put from the KaleidoscopeQuarters collection. I am waiting for two or three of your coins but have not seen them listed on GC yet. Good luck with your Sale

I sent Ian a message as soon as the picture showed. He has yet to respond. I sent him both sets of pictures and asked if there was anything that could be done. The coin definitely does not look like the GC photos. Oh well....

Pocketchange,
I remember sending the 1956 in to PCGS for grading. Small World!Wow, that's awesome. That '56 is one of my favorites — the color gradient is super smooth and the royal blue toning is gorgeous. And I REALLY like the '34 you picked up.
Just arrived home from a trip to NYC and found these two new pickups waiting in my mailbox:
1950-S MS66 (will replace my current less colorful MS65 example)
1964 MS66 (fills a hole in my set — now 30% complete)
Nothing is as expensive as free money.

Nice 1935-S! It looks like it has original skin, light toning and really good luster (especially on the reverse).

Any pick-ups at GC last night? maybe the Jack Lee '93-S $1 overshadowed everything else.

I know someone out there picked up a nice 40-D 67+ CAC.

I had my eye on a different 40-D CAC, but it was out of range for me unfortunately.

The 39 MS68 I picked up from the Washington Rainbows sale is now CAC certified and available on GC's... Just FYI.. Tim

Looking more closely at this mintmark, it looks like another S is under there. Cherrypickers or PCGS don't recognize any varieties per CoinFacts.

Newest addition. Always happy to find color on an early 40’s date. In a 66 holder.

No, I did not notice as I was focusing only on the circulating coins.

Snagged these off GC last night! Don’t care about CAC for this set but it was a nice bonus on both coins.
Edit: can anyone tell me about the doubling on the 35-D reverse?

I love the reverse on it especially, and it's very lustrous in-hand. Nothing to gain value-wise by getting it in a 66 holder, so I'm planning to enjoy it until a 67 that knocks my socks off comes along. Luckily this is a good year for toning. Cheers.

WOW!!! I just saw a 1932-P WQ auction for $11,000 at Heritage! It was 66+ and item number was 29178. WOW!!!! Incredible. My max on the coin was 1200.

$12000 with the juice + SALES TAXES (in some states). Not sure that coin upgrades. Weak strike in the motto.

Because "that is how they all are" doesn't mean that a weak strike warrants a higher grade. Why do you think there are so few 32-D and 32-S 66s? Or even 65s. Maybe the strike DOES have something to do with it. JMO

Much better strike.... what's the grade? 66 or 66+?

Hi Gang, I am getting ready to send this 1955 MS 67 CAC to PCGS to crossover and hoping for a MS 67+. What do you think?

Regarding the 32p at HA last night, it's actually an unattributed DDO. Ear lobe and Queue are clear. Nostril harder to see. The die breaks on obverse and reverse all match up. Found out from John Philips.
