Description

1948 Washington Quarter, MS68
First PCGS Coin We Have Seen This Fine

1948 25C MS68 PCGS. The 1948 Washington quarter appears at auction with some regularity in MS67, but MS68 coins are major rarities. PCGS reports six pieces this fine and NGC two, with none better. Of these, we have previously handled one of the NGC coins twice, but we have never seen a PCGS coin in this grade. The current coin is of unsurpassable importance to the advanced Registry collector. A sharp strike and expectedly pristine luster are the obvious hallmarks, while vivid sun-gold toning encompasses the interiors with an amber-red and forest-green border ring. Population: 6 in 68 (1 in 68+), 0 finer (6/24).(Registry values: N991)
