1938-S Washington Quarter. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC. The obverse of this gorgeous Superb Gem is particularly vivid with a partial halo of rich crimson-copper, pinkish-rose and olive-blue patina around the periphery. The silver-tinged reverse is lightly toned at the left and right borders. Frosty and virtually pristine, this coin would be perfect for the finest type or date set. The only mintmarked quarter issue of its year, the 1938-S was produced to the extent of 2,832,000 coins. Although Uncirculated examples are available in all grades up to and including MS-66, over that grade this issue is scarce, and this magnificently toned MS-67+ is a noteworthy condition rarity. Tied for finest certified at PCGS.
