Owner Comments:
I purchased this specimen of the only pre-1976 commemorative quarter dollar at a local coin auction in April 2010 and submitted it to NGC in November 2022. I expected it to receive an AU or AU details, cleaned grade. The coin isn't particularly hairlined but is rather bright for its age. It has some "rub" on Isabella's cheek, which is why I thought it would receive an AU grade. It also has an unusual number of small abrasions for a commemorative. The "Uncirculated details, cleaned" grade it received was as high as I could have expected. It is still a pleasing specimen of a scarce issue.
