The June 2-5, 2002, Pre-Long Beach Sale, Sale 14
Lot 2236
1932 (2 pieces) and 1934.
These each grade MS-60 or better. Each is deeply toned. Lot of 3
coins.
Estimated Value $70-90.
Lot 2237
1932-S. PCGS graded
MS-64. One of the key dates to the Washington quarter series, this one
boasts coppery gold toning with rainbow flecks of color on the obverse and
reverse, somewhat mottled, and mostly near the periphery of each side. Clean
surfaces expected for the grade, and these are seldom found any better
technically, and often a lot worse. For the date specialist.
Estimated
Value $800-950.
Lot 2238
1941. NGC graded
MS-67. As perfect as one could expect, the luster is blazing white on this
coin, and the strike is full and complete. A couple of tiny neck nicks from
absolute perfection. NGC has graded 147 this high, with just 2 higher!
Estimated Value $200-300.
Lot 2239
1944-S. NGC graded
MS-67. About as nice as one could imagine, blazing white luster with just a
touch of gold at the periphery. NGC has graded 205 this high, with just 2
higher! A lovely late WWII issue.
Estimated Value $300-400.
Lot 2240
1950-D. NGC graded
MS-67. One of the finest graded of this date, we note hazy gold toning
likely from an original mint set on this coin. NGC reports only 157 graded this
high, and importantly, just 1 graded higher.
Estimated Value $300-400.
Lot 2241
1968-S. PCGS graded
Proof 67. Toned with iridescent green, gold and magenta on the obverse, the
reverse white. Problem free surfaces and one for the specialist who loves toned
proofs.
Estimated Value $100-125.
Lot 2242
1998-P. Mint Error, 3
Strikes, 2nd and 3rd are 40 percent off center. PCGS graded MS-65.
Here's a spectacular error coin. Washington has two complete profiles, with
two complete dates as well (actually there are three strikes, but the second
and third show just a slight shift), and the same striking error is present on
the reverse with the eagle boldly doubled. This is the final year of the
regular issue Washington quarter series, before the State Quarter program began
in 1999. An error coin which anyone can appreciate!
Estimated Value
$250-UP.
Lot 2243
No Date, Washington
Quarter Error. Mint Error, PCGS graded MS-63. Double Struck, Second
Strike 80% Off Center. The second strike is way off center, right through
where the date was, but enough remains that we're pretty certain this was a
1998-P quarter. A spectacular error and one that anyone can understand.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
Lot 2244
Blank 90% silver planchet,
Type II, Washington quarter. Mint Error. Slabbed by NGC. This blank
planchet is ready for striking, but somehow missed the process entirely.
Problem free and about as issued, but with no grade, there being nothing to
grade, of course.
Estimated Value $50-75.
Lot 2245
A Washington quarter
bonanza. This lot contains 1146 Washington quarters, or $286.50 in face,
all silver from 1932 to 1964, grades from AG to BU. A great lot for the
date hoarder and local dealer who can parcel them out. Lot of 1146 pieces.
Estimated Value $860-925.
Lot 2246
Washington quarters as
follows. Each is NGC graded as follows: 1946-S MS-66 W, 1946-S MS-66 (2
pieces), 1948-S MS-66 (2 pieces) and 1954 MS-66 (2 pieces). Each is
essentially white and untoned. Lot of 7 coins.
Estimated Value $250-UP.
Lot 2247
A partial set of
Washington quarters, 1992-1998-S, including proof only issues. This set

are included from 1954 to 1964 inclusive in proof condition. Lot of 38 coins.
Estimated Value $50-UP.
