1948 Washington Quarter. MS-68 (PCGS). CMQ.This captivating Superb Gem really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. The obverse is exceptionally vivid with a crescent of intense multicolored toning arcing across the upper half. The reverse is largely antique gold with a halo of mottled reddish-russet around much of the periphery. Serene surfaces are fully lustrous, satiny in finish, and temptingly close to numismatic perfection. It is little wonder that this extraordinary coin ranks among the finest 1948 quarters seen by PCGS. A find for the advanced Set Registry participant.PCGS# 5836.
