Lot Description

A "wonder coin" among 1939-D Washington quarters, the eye appeal is outstanding and derived largely from exceptionally vivid toning in mottled salmon-pink, cobalt blue, reddish-orange and emerald-green that leaves areas of silvery brilliance in and around the central obverse. Technical quality is no less remarkable, both sides sharply struck, highly lustrous, and free of even the most trivial blemishes. This virtually pristine example will nicely represent this semi-key date 1930s quarter issue with a mintage of 7,092,000 coins. It is tied for finest graded by PCGS and will appeal to advanced Washington quarter collectors and Set Registry participants.
