Premium Superb Gem 1934 Quarter Tied for Finest Certified at PCGS 1934 Washington Quarter. FS-402. Medium Motto. MS-68 (PCGS). CAC. Brilliant apart from the lightest iridescent toning on the reverse, this exquisite piece sports bountiful mint luster to pristine-looking surfaces. 1934 is only the second year in which the Mint produced quarters of John Flanagan's newly introduced Washington design. The economic downturn of the Great Depression resulted in reduced need for new coinage, and the Mint did not produce any quarters in 1933. The Philadelphia Mint struck 31,912,052 quarters in 1934 and upper end Superb Gems such as this are exceedingly rare. The Mint made several efforts to refine the still new Washington quarter design in 1934 with three distinct hubs identifiable by the strength of the motto. The Medium Motto hub offered here, also referred to as the Type of 1935, is noted for the sharpness in the definition in the letters. Provenance: From the Washington Rainbows Collection, the #1 PCGS Registry Set of Silver Washington Quarters, 1932-1964.
