Lot Description

Although the Philadelphia Mint struck 15,000 Proof quarters in 1940, only 11,246 were deemed suitable for forwarding to the coiner. After the destruction of additional examples for assay purposes, the actual distribution to contemporary collectors amounted to 11,180 pieces. This stunning Ultra Gem is among the very finest certified and would serve with distinction in a top-flight Proof type or date set.
