[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2226552, member: 19165"]Yes, they are both mine. PL Washingtons were made in a few basic eras (and I own at least one of each): 1.) Most PL silver washingtons were from the late 40's, early 50's, and almost all come from the S mint. 47S and 49S are the most common. These have a lot of die polish, like you see here. 2. 1969-1972, from P and D mints. These generally have smooth, satiny surfaces. 3. Modern coins, starting in about 1986. These usually have bright mirrors, and come from the first few coins struck on a new die (the mint started chrome plating and polishing dies around this time). 4. Almost every state quarter has PL examples. 5. The ATB quarters from early years have a few examples, but they get scarce in the middle. The last couple of years have been really prolific.[/QUOTE]
