Lot Description

Top-Pop Condition Rarity 1961-D Quarter 1961-D Washington Quarter. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC. Undoubtedly from an original Mint set, this originally and attractively toned Washington quarter displays the most vivid shades of emerald, orange and gold, particularly on the obverse. The surfaces are delightfully smooth and the luster is nothing short of intense. Although available in an absolute sense, late date 90% silver Washington quarter issues such as the 1961-D are surprisingly rare in the finest Mint State grades, as here. For Registry Set players competing for the top spot, the importance of such offerings cannot be overstated. We eagerly await seeing whose set this stunning Superb Gem enters into at the close of the sale. Provenance: The PCGS CoinFacts Plate Coin. PCGS Population: 2; none finer. PCGS# 5871. NGC ID: 246N.
