1952-D Washington Quarter. MS-67+ (NGC). Slightly mottled antique gold, rose-orange and copper-russet iridescence blankets the obverse of this gorgeous Superb Gem. The mostly silver-tinged reverse exhibits an enhancing crescent of dappled copper-russet toning along the lower border. Both sides are universally frosted in finish with expertly preserved surfaces that approach perfection. Despite a mintage of 49,795,200 coins, the 1952-D is surprisingly elusive in the finest Mint State grades, as here. A find for both astute Washington quarter collectors and toning enthusiasts.
