<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GSDykes, post: 3966867, member: 73321&quot;]Below is a 1987 P Quarter, from a mint set. (By the way I purchased about 40 mints sets, and am still reaping nice coins from them). Mega REDBOOK, 5th edition, shows it in MS 66 as $40.00 retail, and in MS 67 as $200.00. This coin is certainly MS66 OR MS67. It is proof-like, so I used axial photography to capture its surface. (Do note that in this type of photography, even the most minute scratches, or blemishes show up). In hand it is a beauty.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1044131[/ATTACH]</p><p>In this condition, it is somewhat rare, but certainly some mint sets contain equal beauties. Data below is from Heritage auctions and EBAY:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1044132[/ATTACH]</p><p>The above is quite dull compared to mine:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1044133[/ATTACH]</p><p>Alas, none at MS68, and only 18 at MS 67, though a few more may yet emerge. So out of over 582,000,000 coins ~35 exist slabbed as MS 67. This POP report was suggested, obliquely, by Hoopster and Kookoox, thanks fellas. (Ooops, I just noticed a licensing restriction in the above image, so I thank PCGS for the data above, hope this calms them).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1044138[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>ANACS, a bit high, as is common on EBAY, but it does suggest that this modern coin, has some value-in the higher grades. Imagine locating one grading at MS 68!!</p><p>Gary in Washington[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
