1934-D Washington Quarter. FS-501. Heavy Motto, Small D. MS-67 (PCGS).This enchanting Superb Gem really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Both sides are dressed in a bold array of multicolored iridescent toning that includes shades of pale apricot, pinkish-rose, golden-olive, champagne-pink and pearl-gray. Silky smooth surfaces are further enhanced by soft satiny luster. Sharply struck, as well, and a delight to behold.Quarter production at the Denver Mint in 1934 amounted to 3,527,200 coins, a smaller total by Washington quarter standards that confirms the key date status of this issue in all but the lowest circulated grades. As a solidly graded and aesthetically pleasing Superb Gem the Washington Rainbows specimen is exceedingly rare from a condition standpoint. Sure to sell for a strong premium to an advanced Washington quarter Set Registry collector.The FS-501 attribution of this issue refers to what Bill Fivaz and J.T. Stanton (Cherrypickers Guide</em>, 2012) believe is just a single leftover die from the 1932-D issue, attributable by a small D mintmark that is also known as the Type of 1932. The authors describe it as, "a rare variety by any standard."PCGS# 407910.From the Washington Rainbows Collection, the #1 PCGS Registry Set of Silver Washington Quarters, 1932-1964.
