Washington Quarters
1947-D 25C MS68 PCGS. CAC. Only two quarters share the top spot at the MS68 level among more than 4,200 1947-D examples certified by PCGS. An unrestrained 15,338,400 pieces were struck at the Denver Mint in 1947, and while Choice and Gem examples exist in large quantities, Superb Gem examples such as this CAC-endorsed coin are exceedingly rare. Those top-graded coins are the object of stiff competition among Washington quarter specialists and Registry Set collectors.
Colorful, original toning and flashy luster recommend this coin as the pinnacle of preservation for a 1947-D quarter. Fire-orange, emerald-green, sunglow-yellow, violet, and turquoise-blue shades share space with silver luster on the obverse, while the reverse displays russet-red and yellow-gold hues accenting vibrant silver frost. CAC endorsement adds an extra layer of desirability for this splendid and unsurpassed Washington quarter. Population: 2 in 68, 0 finer. CAC: 2 in 68, 0 finer (2/24).
