Not Sold Description
Impressive 1965 Martha Washington
"Quarter," Judd-2116, MS63
"1759" Martha Washington "Quarter," Judd-2116, Pollock-2082, Low
R.7, MS63 NGC. The obverse has a bust of Martha Washington with
the date 1759, while the reverse shows Mount Vernon. The Mint calls
these "nonsense dies" because they lack reference to the current
date and the denomination. This piece is struck from multilayered
cupronickel-copper in order to test the composition for the clad
coins of 1965. The Martha Washington design would later be used to
test several other issues. A number of circular lines (as made) are
seen on both sides, and faint clash marks are visible on the
reverse. Eye-catching luster is unaffected by several minuscule
handling marks.
