<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WashQuartJesse, post: 2897568, member: 18323&quot;]Here’s a ’36 Proof Washington I was very pleased to win! Thank you DLRC. In hand, the coin has a distinct mirrored surface which many ‘36 proof coins lack. It has that sort of 30’s proof opalescence to it with some 1st stage early toning (consisting of those pleasing copper, lavender, and golden hues). I tried highlighting/slightly exaggerating these colors in the photos and apologize for the light spots. The slab’s pretty scratched up but the coin is wonderful. The scratches and dark spot you see are not on the coin. I believe this coin would re-grade a 66. It’s getting cracked out tonight, but not for that. I now only have (2) coins left to complete my 212 coin raw Washington album which I’ve worked on for a decade or so. Time flies when you’re drinking rum. If I’m fortunate enough to finish this set, I plan to start working on a U.S. type set and am going to stop slab cracking.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s118.photobucket.com/user/bugchucka/media/1936%20PROOF1_zps6dflb1he.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s118.photobucket.com/user/bugchucka/media/1936%20PROOF1_zps6dflb1he.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bugchucka/1936%20PROOF1_zps6dflb1he.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s118.photobucket.com/user/bugchucka/media/1936%20PROOF3_zpsjdobc8bu.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s118.photobucket.com/user/bugchucka/media/1936%20PROOF3_zpsjdobc8bu.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bugchucka/1936%20PROOF3_zpsjdobc8bu.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s118.photobucket.com/user/bugchucka/media/1936%20PROOF2_zpsn1u6gili.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s118.photobucket.com/user/bugchucka/media/1936%20PROOF2_zpsn1u6gili.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bugchucka/1936%20PROOF2_zpsn1u6gili.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s118.photobucket.com/user/bugchucka/media/1936%20PROOF4_zpsy5lpm1bc.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s118.photobucket.com/user/bugchucka/media/1936%20PROOF4_zpsy5lpm1bc.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bugchucka/1936%20PROOF4_zpsy5lpm1bc.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
