    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.
