Here’s an “upgrade” to my 1950-D, upgrade in quotes because both coins are the same grade (MS67), but the new one fits much better into my toned set.
It’s a little bit funky, and it has true “R.O.Y.G.B.I.V.” rainbow color progression on parts of both sides. The TrueView is a touch overexposed but not too far off.
The old one is an unremarkable 67 that I acquired below greysheet:
Superb collections are built more by omission than by addition.
@Matt04 I think I've shown you this one before, but this is my heavy motto in PCGS 64. It was the very last coin I acquired to complete my full set, so I understand your struggle! Very challenging to find with color.
@NorCalJack & @P0CKETCHANGE Absolutely stunning examples Wow! I think another very unique thing about the 34-D is if you find the Small D Variety its the original reverse 1932-D dies that were first re-used in 1934
This chart shows the three 1950 issues (P/D/S) and the % change in the PCGS guide for the MS67 grade over the past 5 years. I find it odd that the Denver coin sank by 50% while the others are flat or up. Any ideas?

Wonder what the population in MS67 did across the three? I imagine several coins came out. That was one of the reasons I sold my MS67 set when I did. I am currently working on a MS65 set and having fun doing it. Some coins are about 1/10th of a 67!
I will be sharing more details on this piece soon. I have been extremely lucky in the past 30 days to have bought, handled & submitted two phenomenal examples that both graded MS68, tied for finest known, both fresh coins.
This 1935 Washington Quarter Graded by PCGS today:
This is not by any means a semi key, or scarce date, its actually from what I recall a rather common example in lower unc grades.
I bought this example for its rather unique qualities. Graded MS65 by Anacs, I knew it was nowhere close to a 65. Crusty & Original, it was freshly graded by a dealer who had bought a dansco album from a collector with this example in it. it was then sent off to anacs, graded then bought by me.
An obverse & reverse with this insane original skin! I really hope once the trueviews are uploaded that it does a good job showing it. Under the right angles there is this slight rainbow halo on the obverse.
I suspect this was an ender for an Original Bank Wrapped Roll Based on the obverse toning.

Wow! Incredible find and story!

In the near future I will post a Trueview photo of a 1942 proof quarter that has some frost on the devices (very unusual). The coin is currently in Encapsulation.
Here is the 1942 Proof Quarter. It graded PF65. The TrueView photo does not show the frost on the obverse devices at all. When tilted into the light the obverse frost does appear and looks very nice. The reverse frost on the eagle's body and on some of the other devices does show up in the TrueView photo.
Here is a big surprise. A 1955 proof quarter that graded PF68DCAM. I never expected this result.

While I patiently wait to find my very own 1934-D, would anyone care to share ones you currently or once owned
Here is a 1934-D MS-66+ Heavy Motto variety

@NorCalJack your 34-d is amazing.

Wow, MS65 to MS68!!! Quite an impressive upgrade!
Trueview is not bad, finally uploaded to my account! Its also the front cover photo for the 1935 Date Quarter in Coinfacts!
This takes it thus far as my favorite Quarter! I'm glad the TV sorta captures the rainbow on the obverse, very slight but there.
@Matt04 you are the man!
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
Nice work @Matt04 !!

Newly graded 1937 Proof quarter. PF64.
That's incredible.
