<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bqcoins, post: 1793935, member: 5036&quot;]When you ask someone about condition rarities in the Washington quarter series the easiest one to mention, the one that first comes to mind of course is the 1936 D.&nbsp; However, there are a few others, the 34 D, the 35 D, and the 37 S are also right up there.&nbsp; Following those coins, the 1940 D is fifth on the list.&nbsp; That is not to say that it is easy by any stretch of the imagination.&nbsp; At most medium shows you might find one or two in AU to UNC and really have to either be lucky or go to a massive show to find them with any kind of regularity. </p><p>Here is a 1940 D out of a Wayte Raymond album from back in the day.&nbsp; It has beautiful rust fading to red target toning.&nbsp; Now toning sometimes covers up imperfections in coins, however on this coin the toning actually highlights the center of the coin, where marks would be the most distracting.&nbsp; With all that in mind, share your thoughts on this one. </p><p><a href="http://s240.photobucket.com/user/bqcoins/media/Refraction%20Experiment/053_zps9d18106b.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s240.photobucket.com/user/bqcoins/media/Refraction%20Experiment/053_zps9d18106b.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/Refraction%20Experiment/053_zps9d18106b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://s240.photobucket.com/user/bqcoins/media/Refraction%20Experiment/056_zps3ee347fa.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s240.photobucket.com/user/bqcoins/media/Refraction%20Experiment/056_zps3ee347fa.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff71/bqcoins/Refraction%20Experiment/056_zps3ee347fa.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
