1938 Washington Quarter. Proof-68 (PCGS). CAC.This is a gorgeous Superb Gem that borders on pristine. Both sides exhibit handsome golden-copper peripheral toning that is more extensive on the obverse. The centers are much lighter in pale silvery tinting, wisps of powder blue also evident as the coin rotates under a light. Universally reflective in finish with a razor sharp strike throughout the design. The 1938 is a median rarity among early Proof Washington quarters, with a mintage of 8,045 pieces. While the 1938 is readily available in grades through Proof-66, Superb Gems in Proof-67 are scarce while anything finer is a significant condition rarity. As one of the finest examples known to PCGS, this glorious coin would do justice to an advanced set.
