Lot Description

Superb Gem 1936-D Quarter Condition Rarity Key Date Washington Issue 1936-D Washington Quarter. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC. This is an exceptionally smooth and attractive example of a conditionally challenging Denver Mint Washington quarter issue. Otherwise lightly toned in iridescent pearl-gray, both sides exhibit enhancing blushes of olive-copper iridescence here and there around the peripheries. Intensely frosted in finish with a razor sharp strike, this coin would serve as a highlight in the finest Washington quarter cabinet. After only the 1932-D and 1932-S (and excluding varieties), the 1936-D is the rarest quarter of this design type in Gem Mint State preservation. As a Superb Gem the 1936-D is highly elusive; the present example unsurpassed in a PCGS holder. Mintage: 5,374,000 coins. Provenance: From the Washington Rainbows Collection, the #1 PCGS Registry Set of Silver Washington Quarters, 1932-1964. PCGS Population: 8; 0 finer. PCGS# 5801. NGC ID: 244H.
