<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Skyman, post: 7963506, member: 28299&quot;]A for technical cleanliness.&nbsp; The toning on the reverse FROM THE IMAGE is a detractor if anything.&nbsp; 1951 is a Tough year for finding decently toned Washingtons from ANY mint, although the &quot;easiest&quot;&nbsp; (which is not saying much) mint to find decent toners from is S.&nbsp; On the whole, for that specific year, if you could find a decently clean and well struck 1951 Washington that is a lustrous white, it would probably be a better hole filler for an album than a toned coin, unless you are specifically looking for a toned coin for a toned set.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I would agree that C is probably from a Mint Set.&nbsp; Even though the obverse looks AU, more than likely that is a strike issue, as the reverse does not have wear characteristics concomitant with the obverse.&nbsp; You will find a fair amount of 1951 P Mint Set Washingtons have that look.&nbsp; Here&#039;s one I pulled directly from a Mint Set.&nbsp; BTW I pulled a 1951 S Washington, as well as 1951 S Franklin from the Set, sent them in to PCGS, and came back with decent grades, MS66 and MS65FBL, so I highly doubt the set had been picked through.&nbsp; The toning on the obverse is higher end for a 1951 P mint Washington, which, as I said, is not saying much.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1380574[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1380575[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
