Lot Description

Finest PCGS-Certified 1936-S Quarter 1936-S Washington Quarter. MS-68 (PCGS). CAC. As the single highest graded 1936-S quarter known to PCGS, the significance of this offering for Set Registry collectors can hardly be overstated. Dusted with antique silver tinting, this delectable Superb Gem also exhibits a crescent of rich reddish-russet iridescence along the left obverse border. Frosty surfaces are sharply struck and approach perfection. This kind of superior quality and eye appeal would be rare even on a later date Washington quarter; to have it on an example of a semi-key date San Francisco Mint issue from the 1930s is truly remarkable. Provenance: From the Washington Rainbows Collection, the #1 PCGS Registry Set of Silver Washington Quarters, 1932-1964. PCGS Population: 1; 0 finer. PCGS# 5802. NGC ID: 244J.
