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.
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.

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.

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)
Here is an example of a mark free WQ. It is a 67+, but arguably a 68.
This coin was part of the Washington Rainbows Set. It may not have mind altering 🌈 toning, but the near perfection of the coin makes up for it.
This coin is CAC and is closing today at GC

Nice 1935-S! It looks like it has original skin, light toning and really good luster (especially on the reverse).
Per the January 2021 auction notes... "Both sides exhibit a frosty, silky smooth texture dusted with iridescent silver and sandy-gold toning. Here is a fully struck, condition rarity Superb Gem survivor of this 5,660,000-coin issue from the early Washington quarter series. Provenance: From the Washington Rainbows Collection, the #1 PCGS Registry Set of Silver Washington Quarters, 1932-1964."

Nice 1952!! Looks like it's under graded. Nice pick up!
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.
Good for Washie collectors, bad for your KsQ collection! Would you say the hobby is red hot right now?

My jaw dropped watching that. My max was also $1200, maybe a $1250 cut.

$12000 with the juice + SALES TAXES (in some states). Not sure that coin upgrades. Weak strike in the motto.
It doesn't have a weak strike in the motto; that is how all 1932 WQs are struck since they are "Light Motto" coins.
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
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.

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.

I got this in the Stack's Auction last week. PR68DCAM from our host.
Here is my Washington Quarter Variety Registry Set
This is my Washington Quarter Proof Variety Registry Set
Picked up another couple of toners for my set, both MS66 —
And here's how the set is coming along (at least the ones I have TVs of) —
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.

That is a nice grouping!
Saw the obverse, got excited concerning the color initially, oh well....

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

At GC today.
This is one I almost have memorized. I would pull from my collection to admire quite frequently. A beautiful coin in the hand. I miss it already.
Some America the Beautiful Quarters are scheduled to be auction via Great Collections tonight
Did you notice they added the reverse proof coins to the set? Makes sense.
No, I did not notice as I was focusing only on the circulating coins.
New set addition arrived this weekend — MS65 and quite nice in-hand
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?
MS66+ CAC
MS67 CAC

$12000 with the juice + SALES TAXES (in some states). Not sure that coin upgrades. Weak strike in the motto.
It doesn't have a weak strike in the motto; that is how all 1932 WQs are struck since they are "Light Motto" coins.

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
Here's mine.....
Much better strike.... what's the grade? 66 or 66+?
Here are 2 links to 10 WQs currently at Heritage Auctions from my set (all CAC).

@ erwindoc, I will say 66?
NGC calls it a 67.
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?

Its in an old NGC Fatty Holder now
