What do you think of my 1965 SMS Washington Quarter

@coindudeonebay you say that's graded 66 Cameo. This is an area I'm not familiar with, but would that have graded 66 without the Cameo...for just a strait MS-66 grade? Or was there a market grading bump for the cameo effect?

Honestly I think without cameo it may have received a 67. Getting one in a 67 cam holder would make it prohibitively expensive. I'm guessing in the 1k range. These aren't cheap either btw!

 

Opinion on grade = SP65.

 

@coindudeonebay - Yup, the SMS coins from what I can tell are getting more an more pricy in higher grades and seem to be gaining in demand. I've recently purchased a large number of SMS and Proof coins LMCs through Washington QUarters (no silver and no halves or dollars). My plan is to go through all of them, find the nicest samples to keep for my collections and then re-sell the rest. These SMS coins in hand still look better than my picture...I want to get the two in sync before I start listing them which is partially my reason for posting these GTGs.

@19Lyds thats where I thought it would grade, and really in hand with out the major magnification it looks MS-65 I just need to figure out how to get the same look in the pics...

 

Then I change my comment.

Beautiful!
