1942-D Washington Quarter, MS66
Highest Numerical Grade for FS-801

1942-D 25C Doubled Die Reverse, FS-801, MS66 PCGS. The most visible attribute of this variety is strong doubling on the wreath below the eagle, and there is also evident doubling on the eagle's beak and on the talons. This Premium Gem quarter is sharply struck and is essentially brilliant with only faint traces of champagne and iridescent toning. Frosty luster is quite complementary and provides strong, attractive eye appeal. PCGS reports no numerically finer FS-801 specimens, and we have not seen an example this fine in auction for 15 years, making this a top attraction for serious variety collections (4/25). Population: 1 in 66, 0 finer (4/25).
