That is a very tough grade! Knowing what it is and then looking at the trueview, I think I can imagine friction on the neck and just at the top of the highest curl. Without knowing the grade, I would have said 64/65. Im sure an everyman registry set competitor would love to have it!
Filled the 45-S hole. It’s not my favorite given the darker toning and muted luster (unless directly under light), but it meets my set criteria of dual-siding toning as well as my budget for the year/mm, so it’ll do until if/when a better one crosses my path.
I acquired this 37-S about ten months ago. I roughly doubled my budget for the date/mm, but I jumped on this vividly toned example because they don’t seem to come often with nice color, and even more rarely with nice color on both sides.
I don't recall what I have posted and what I haven't posted over the years for this thread, which appears to be a constant for me, but I don't think this has been shared-
Here is my 39-S which I added to my set in June. Another date/mm where coins with nice color appear to be scarce, so I stretched my budget ~50% to acquire it. Nice and lustrous in hand, with some moderate die polish lines on the obverse which does not seem atypical judging by other examples on CoinFacts.

You are definitely adding some really nice coins to your set!
I always loved the 1939-S WQ in MS64 and above as an issue and thought ti was under-appreciated for many years. You are right, these generally don't come with much color, but yours is the exception. The die polish lines make it more cool, in my opinion.
This 43-S I bought for the richly toned purple reverse. It occurred to me after it came back from reholdering that I should have had it reverse-mounted. It’s in a 66 holder. I had another 43-S that wasn’t funky enough so I sold it.
I would like to know who ended up with this one after I sold it using GC's..? I sent to CAC and it passed with green sticker. Always thought it was gorgeous.
I recently had some coins reholdered so I could get a True View. I did 19 coins so here is the first one. This coin is not very expensive but I really liked this coin and for the money I think I got a great addition to my collection.
If you reach out to PCGS ahead of time, you can arrange to have coins shot through their existing PCGS plastic so that there is no need for reholder. This can preserve older holders. Here is an example shot through an OGH for me-

Super nice Tom! Why didnt you just do it yourself? You take amazing images!

I did shoot this coin myself, as well, but I had a group of coins going to PCGS for grading and decided to reach out to the photography team to see what the results would be for them shooting through a holder. It was an easy experiment to do. Also, thank you for the kind words.
Tom I was aware that PCGS will take a TV of the coin through the holder. I kind of forgot about that before I sent these in. Well here is another coin I sent in for a TV, a 1961-P in MS-66.
This coin has nice bullseye toning on the obverse. It is graded MS-66. It is a very clean coin and I probably should have sent it in for reconsideration.
This may be an odd request, or then again perhaps there is a simple answer that I have not found.
There is a coin listed on the PCGS cert verification page as being in a user's private registry inventory and I would like to reach out to this person about perhaps acquiring the coin. It's not a rare coin and it's not a valuable coin and it's not a conditionally scarce coin. It's just a relatively low value coin ($200? $300?) that I purchased raw as part of a set about two decades ago and then had certified by PCGS and eventually sold. Since then, it has been re-certified (and no doubt regraded) at least three times, but I did some quick research and found what I believe is the current PCGS TrueView for the piece and the current cert number. Of course, it is in a private registry inventory.
Is there some way I can reach out to this person to inquire about the coin? I'd imagine since it is in a "private" inventory that the answer is that I cannot do so, but I thought some on the boards might have good ideas for me. Thank you for any help!

Recently graded, AU58.
I'm not sure I see the rub but I might grade that AU-67.

Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Some of my new TrueViews have started to come in. Here’s my 1932-S in AU58

That is a very nice quarter! Just the right amount of toning and eye appeal!
Looks nicer than some 63s and 64s I've seen... I would rather own that one than a sratched up 61. Beautiful coin

That '37-S is gorgeous!

Lovely proof coins! Love the black and white contrast!
Those proofs from 1950 can really be stunning, can't they?

Well here is my 39-s in MS-64 it is the DDO variety. It has nice color. I am waiting for a nice MS-66+ or 67 with color and no luck so far.

Mine is not very colorful, but it is PL! NGC MS67* with a CAC sticker! I see similar die polishing lines.
Cool coin!

Here’s my ‘41 example which I bought from a weekly DLRC auction earlier this year. 66+ and the luster comes across nicely in the TrueView.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
This one is a bit dark and crusty for a 66, but I still dig it as my ‘43.

Here’s a pair of 66s that, based on the similarity of toning, could have spent time together in the same album.

@POCKETCHANGE It is amazing how similar-looking you found both of those quarters with equal toning!
A Barber Quartet is made up of Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, and Halves.
Indeed, like long-lost siblings. I hadn’t realized I had a pair like this until I shipped them off to PCGS and noticed when the TrueViews posted.
Here’s another one from that submission, which I originally bought from Dennis King at the Whitman Expo. Don’t have any twins of this one! MS65

Please welcome coin number 183 which has completed two of my sets....what a ride....

I would like to know who ended up with this one after I sold it using GC's..? I sent to CAC and it passed with green sticker. Always thought it was gorgeous.
Do you agree with the grade? Seems like a lot of luster breaks on the cheek and neck. Id assume that mark on the forehead is a die crack too.
Yes, in hand I would agree with the grade as did CAC.
The cert number comes up as invalid…wonder if it was cracked?
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Yes, I wondered that too.
Perhaps someone wanted the collection name taken off the slab? Would PCGS generate a new cert number if that were the case?
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
it is pictured in COINFACTS as 45847512. but that number invalid as well

It's interesting, the reverse of your 1943 reminds me somewhat of how the 1948 and 1949 mint set toned pieces would sometimes tone.
