详细说明

1934 Washington Quarter. FS-402. Medium Motto. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC. Smooth light yellow-ocher overlays most of the surface on the obverse, with subtle hints of rose, electric blue and gold enhancing the portrait. Some small spots of russet are detected, mostly around the periphery. The reverse is more uniformly patinated with only a few flecks of indigo within the legend at the lower border interrupting dominant greenish-gold iridescence. A high-end piece in all regards, this sharply struck and expertly preserved Superb Gem would serve as a highlight in any Washington quarter set. The Mint made several efforts during the mid 1930s to refine the still new Washington quarter design with three distinct hubs identifiable by the strength of the motto. The Medium Motto hub (also referred to as the Type of 1935) is noted for the sharpness in the definition in the letters. As with many of the early Washington quarter issues, while Gem Uncirculated examples are regularly available, the number of certified specimens drops off precipitously above MS-67. This MS-67+ with the coveted CAC sticker stands right there near the top among the finest known. PCGS Population: 28; 1 finer (MS-68). PCGS# 5793. NGC ID: 244A.
