Slot:	1932
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1932
Full Grade:	NGC MS 65
Research:	View Coin

Owner Comments
1932-P, Breen 4267. Virtually blast white with a few gold flecks around the edge of the obverse. Very PQ, this coin looks like an MS-66, and I think I will have NGC reevaluate it at some point. Purchased raw, on Ebay, for $32.

Varieties Owned: 1932 WDDO-1 in MS-60. Doubled earlobe, nostril, and back of queue (George's ponytail). Blast white with a lot of bag marks.

Slot:	1932-S
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1932 S
Full Grade:	NGC MS 62
Research:	View Coin

Owner Comments
1932-S. Breen 4268. Mostly white with a golden rim. Some minor abrasions on the cheek, a few scattered marks in the obverse fields, and a tiny scrape across the eagle's breast. Purchased in a SEGS MS-64 holder, on Ebay, for $500. I am looking for an MS-64. Geniunely graded MS-64 coins aren't rare by any means, they're just expensive!

Slot:	1934-D
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1934 D
Full Grade:	NGC MS 65
Research:	View Coin

Owner Comments
1934-D, Medium Motto. Breen 4274. Large "D" variety, not noted on holder. Lovely bronze patina, heavier towards the rims. Purchased raw, for $200, from Julius Schreiber. Submitted first to ANACS, where it garnered an MS-65 grade. Broken out and resubmitted to NGC in 2004.

Varieties Owned:

1934-D, Heavy Motto. Breen 4276, Small D, FS#025-009.5. Hint of toning. Purchased raw on Ebay for $165 as a "Choice BU". Finest graded for variety, Population 1/0.

Slot:	1935
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1935
Full Grade:	PCGS MS 66
Research:	View Coin

Owner Comments
1935-P. Breen 4277. Absolutely pure blast white, with luster as deep as a swimming pool. Nice strike for a 1935, as they are notorious for weakly struck coins. Reverse die rotated approximately 5% clock-wise. Purchased from Capital Coins of Des Moines, Iowa.

Seeking:

Desparately searching for a 1935 DDO-1; they are very rare, and there are probably fewer than 10 identified in all grades. I look at every uncirculated 1935 coin I see at shows or shops.

Slot:	1935-D
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1935 D
Full Grade:	NGC MS 65
Research:	View Coin

Owner Comments
1935-D. Breen 4279. Typical weak strike, as are most 1935 quarters. One or two minor marks on both obverse and reverse, but none in key focal areas. Mostly white, with a few striations of bronze toning. Purchased at Omaha monthly show in February, 2004, from Ron Rhiem of Capital Coins of Des Moines, Iowa, for $575 ($127.75 face) worth of 90% silver.

Slot:	1935-S
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1935 S
Full Grade:	NGC MS 66
Research:	View Coin

Owner Comments
1935-S. Breen 4278. Satin white irridescent patina with gold highlights on forehead. An extraordinarily clean coin with one stray mark in the field in front of Washington's forehead, which keeps it from a higher grade. Purchased very, very cheaply on Ebay as the auction ended in the middle of the night; I set my alarm clock for this one, and I'm glad I did!

Slot:	1936-S
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1936 S
Full Grade:	NGC MS 66
Research:	View Coin

Owner Comments
1936-S. Breen 4282. Old Holder. Bluish iridescent toning on the obverse, with a few light golden toning patches. Reverse has a quarter-moon shaped wedge of pewter toning, and the rest of the coin is pearlescent. Mark free, premium quality, and a possible shot at MS-67.

Slot:	1937
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1937
Full Grade:	NGC MS 66
Research:	View Coin

Owner Comments
1937-P. Breen 4286. Blast white obverse, with two hidden marks in George's hair. Splash of golden toning over upper third of reverse, and a few stray marks not visible to the naked eye. Ebay coin.

Varieties Owned:

Three 1937-P Doubled Die Obverse, Breen 4287, WDDO-001, Coneca's 1-O-V, FS#025-012. Extremely rare (pictured bottom photograph). Strong counterclockwise spread from pivot at 2 o'clock shows on queue, date, IN GOD WE TRUST, nose, eyelid, and LIBERTY. Mostly white, AU-58. The other two I own grade VG/F. These 3 coins make up approximately 10 percent of the known examples of this rarity. **On their way to NGC for grading at this time**. Purchased on Ebay.

Slot:	1937-D
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1937 D
Full Grade:	NGC MS 66
Research:	View Coin

Owner Comments
1937-D. Breen 4290. Ghost white, this coin was a very early strike on a new die, as you can clearly see every tendril of metal flow. There's a very mild blemish on the eagle's left thigh. The mintmark is clearly repunched to the east. A coin seldom seen in grades above MS-65, this quarter was surprisingly difficult to locate in ultra gem despite the fairly ample mintage.

Slot:	1937-S
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1937 S
Full Grade:	NGC MS 66
Research:	View Coin

Owner Comments
1937-S. Breen 4289. This quarter has the most amazing sky blue and gold veins of toning on the obverse, and the reverse is white. I can't capture the beauty of this coin on the scan. One small amber-bronze toning spot on the motto. Extremely difficult to locate in MS-66. Purchased on Ebay while I was deployed to Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar.

Slot:	1939
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1939
Full Grade:	NGC MS 66
Research:	View Coin

Owner Comments
1939-P. Breen 4294. A solid strike with monstrous luster. Mostly white with just the tiniest bit of toning. Ultra high grade 1939-P quarters are amply available, hence the low point value on this MS-66. Although the point value for MS-67's is not that much higher than a '66, MS-67 1939's are very pricey, which is why I hesitate to upgrade this coin.

Varieties Owned:

1939-P WDDO-004 in MS-66, not pictured as the doubling is too mild to portray in this format. Doubling shows as a clockwise spread on the date, IN GOD WE TRUST, the queue, ribbon, and LIBERTY.

Slot:	1939-D
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1939 D
Full Grade:	NGC MS 66
Research:	View Coin

Owner Comments
1939-D. Breen 4297. This coin has a hint of bronze toning, but is generally white, with outstanding strike and luster. This is a coin I bought raw at J & J coins in Sioux City, Iowa, and submitted to NGC.

Varieties Owned:

1939 D over S, Breen 4298, FS #025-012.3, NGC MS-65. Bronze and gunmetal-blue toning around the edge of the obverse. Purchased on Ebay in an ANACS MS-64 holder, for $250. Broke out and submitted to NGC. Tied for second finest known along with 4 others. One finer by a point. NGC 1746324-008

Slot:	1939-S
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1939 S
Full Grade:	NGC MS 66
Research:	View Coin

Owner Comments
1939-S. Breen 4296. Doubled Die Obverse, WDDO-002, Coneca's 3-O-V, WRRM-001, S over S northeast. Noted as "Rare" by John Wexler. This doubled die is not a recognized variety by NGC, and not noted on holder. This is a very tough date to locate in MS-66, and is seldom offered. This coin is the last coin I purchased from the thirties. The scan does not do justice to this nicely toned coin, with blue, pewter, and bronze highlights.

Slot:	1941-S
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1941 S
Full Grade:	NGC MS 66
Research:	View Coin

Owner Comments
1941-S. Breen 4306. Small "S". Near white, and blemish free. Repunched mint-mark. Die breaks along eagle's right wing, base of bust, to the left of motto, and across top of skull.

Varieties Owned:

1941-S. Breen 4307. Large "S", sharp serifs. Fivaz-Stanton #25-013.5. All white and extraordiarily clean surfaces; real MS-67 potential. NGC MS-66. Cherry picked from an NGC holdered coin, and resubmitted for variety verification. Tied for finest known. NGC 1746324-011.

Slot:	1942
Origin/Country:	UNITED STATES
Design Description:	QUARTER DOLLARS - WASHINGTON
Item Description:	25C 1942
Full Grade:	NGC MS 66

1942-P. Breen 4310. Bright white obverse, and beautiful light blue-green end of roll toning on reverse. The best of 40 submitted as part of an original roll.
