This coin is easy in high grade but not this high. It's also rarely seen as colorful as this.
I have not viewed that coin in person,. However, it appears to be a great illustration of a naturally toned piece, the likes of which cannot currently (and hopefully never) be duplicated by artificial means. I say that because of the subtle, slightly bleeding (as opposed to sharply defined/distinct) bands of rainbow color, which I believe are a good, though not perfect indicator of original patina.
Beautiful looking coin!
Had to settle for that one did ya. Couldn't find a nice white one?

Clad coins with beautiful toning like the pictured quarter are not easy to find. If the pictured coin was sold, I suspect it would sell for a surprisingly high price that is many multiples of any posted value in any of the price guides.
Lucky for me I picked up a few of these coins when I bought a US Postal Society album with MS Washingtons from 1950-1990. The album had been put together and sold in the early 90's and the coins were stored on clear plastic holders that were not sealed and that were inserted into the album pages that were made of thick, high quality stock paper doubled over with into two sheets that were glued together. The combination of the clear plastic, high quality paper, glue and about 15 years in storage resulted in many of the MS clad quarters toning very nicely. However, the MS silver quarters did not tone at all.
I can't recall seeing a prettier modern TRUE Rainbow Washington but I am sure there are some great ones out there!

Is the coin AT?
Thanks,

Doug, Super looking Quarter! This Clad one was graded MS66 by NGC. I really need to shoot this coin again, as this is quite an old picture and doesn't show all of the color. Where's my 'star' NGC??

I wonder where all the "Modern Crap" posters are with their viewpoints? Actually, I usually have the bad luck of killing threads when I reply so they might never see it!

Does my rant make people feel better about this thread?

It would except you neglected to use the phrase "pocket change".

- Maybe you're mistaking this for a P-mint 1968. Denver mint's are abundant in high grades.
