<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 7883084, member: 112&quot;]Fair enough Burton, there is truth in what ya say. But lemme ask you, have you ever looked at high grade Washington quarter Proofs ? Take these two for example -</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/81618749_53353853_2200.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/81618749_53353853_2200.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/81618749_53353853_2200.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/81618749_53353853_2200.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/84323272_68501084_2200.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/84323272_68501084_2200.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/84323272_68501084_2200.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/84323272_68501084_2200.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The first is a 69 CAM, the 2nd a 68 CAM. And since Proofs are struck with much higher pressure, and more than once - that&#039;s about as good as the strike is ever going to get.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now look at the lack of detail in both those images - there simply isn&#039;t any fine detail in the design. And it&#039;s not because the strike was weak, there just isn&#039;t any ! And you can click on those pics and blow &#039;em up, there just isn&#039;t any fine detail there.</p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s what makes grading Washington quarters so tough - there is just so little to base your judgement on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
