Lot Description

An enchanting example that will delight both advanced Washington quarter collectors and toning enthusiasts. The toning is certainly superior for a Washington quarter, especially an early date example, with gently mottled reddish-russet, antique gold and powder blue iridescence around the peripheries. Otherwise dusted with pale silvery tinting, both sides are further enhanced with billowy mint luster in a softly frosted texture. The surfaces are virtually pristine, and the strike is sharply executed with crisp definition to even the most intricate design elements. If building a truly spectacular Washington quarter set is your current numismatic focus, the opportunity represented by this top-pop 1935-S deserves serious consideration and should be met with an aggressive bidding strategy.
