Calling all Washington Quarter experts....

I am getting ready to open a uncirc roll of 1955 D Washington quarters that was in my grandfathers collection. This is not an original bank roll, it is something he put together many moons ago and has been sealed up probably since 1955. Are there varieties, doubling, anything I should be looking for in particular for this year & mintmark?

Thanks,

Bstat

    Not a washington collector, but I did check the RPM and cherrypickers and nothing there.

    Just look for high grades. There are still no PCGS MS67's, and the MS66's bring a premium.

    1955 D is one of the toughest in high grade... MS66 is the highest and very tough to find. Look for quality.

    Ya know...

    that reminds me...

    I also have a roll of 1955-D Quarters.

    Bought it from a real nice local dealer back about 17 years or so ago. Everything that I ever purchased from him was very nice. He has since passed on, but now reading this thread it may be time to check out that roll again.

    No PCGS 67`s?... image

    I looked thru a lot of them last night, and their seems to be a few white spots on some them. I would compare it to the milk spots that are on ASE sometimes. There are about five coins that do not have them though and those hardly have a mark on them.

    Will the spots take away from a grade by PCGS. Is that enough to BB them?
