Lot Description

Obviously preserved with the utmost care since the day of striking, this originally and attractively toned Washington quarter displays the boldest color at and near the right borders on both sides. The surfaces are delightfully smooth and the luster is full and 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 Set Registry players competing for high rankings, 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.
