<p>[QUOTE="tcore, post: 343435, member: 2949"]Taking eye appeal into consideration, I will say MS65. It doesn't have too many marks...more on the obverse than the reverse. I personally don't like the toning. It looks like Ol' George has a black eye and a mustache. I do like <i>some </i>toned coins, but I like a more even toning with no breaks...a rare spectacle on Washington quarters. I do like the reverse of this coin more than the obverse. The toning appears more even to me and doesn't get as close to black. I am also aware that toning and whether or not one likes it is very subjective and people have very strong opinions. With all that said, I may just be being hard on the coin because I just don't like Washington quarters...The details are just so blah and mushy.</p><p> </p><p>Thanks for sharing Leadfoot![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
