United States: 1944 silver Washington quarter NGC MS67. Cert. #251510-015. Numista-54, Krause-Mishler-164. Mintage: 104,956,000. Ex-Northeast Numismatics, 20 August 2026, as part of a 5-coin swap deal. Although a very common date, this is a nice white "supergem" graded Washington quarter with great luster. I worry that NGC might have overgraded it slightly as an MS67, as there is a small tickmark on Washington's jaw that maybe should have precluded that grade. Then again, the lighting from the photos slightly exaggerates that tiny mark. I don't really mind, however, since the coin has otherwise exceptional eye appeal. I needed a Washington quarter type coin and partly chose this one because it was struck in my mother's birthyear. The coin is in an older (1999) NGC slab. 022750
Nice Washington LM. The only 44 that I have is an San Fran. Toned a bit, MS. Barely visible in your photos is the Master die doubling found on all branches, 44' mint quarters. You can find it under the nose and on the earlobe. This is a large S, I thought it was an RPM when I bought it. Still not convinced it is normal.
