This is a fine example of an early proof Washington quarter. The strike appears solid and there are few distracting marks on the devices or fields. However, the eye appeal on this example is somewhat lacking, missing some of the highly polished fields or even the cameo effect that would elevate it to the next level. Even though only 58,000 pieces were minted, more than two-thirds have survived. Unfortunately, they were stored inadequately by the US Mint, using old box packaging with stapled mylar “flips.” This makes for a nice starter piece, but a replacement might be sought if a better example becomes available.

The 1951 Proof Washington Quarter has the second lowest mintage from the 1950-1964 Proof Washington Quarter series.

Proof: In proof non cameo or deep cameo it is not difficult to find up to PR67 grade. In PR68 it becomes much more difficult to find. 

Proof Cameo: Most examples displaying Cameo surfaces are scarce. The majority of Cameo examples fall in the PR65-PR67 range. Anything grading higher than PR67 Cameo is considered rare. 

Proof Deep Cameo: Examples displaying Deep Cameo surfaces are almost unheard of. Although, there are a few examples known but they are considered extremely scarce in any condition.
