The text reflected is readable @ 2 to 3 inches.

Is this common for mid 90's mint sets?

I have quite a few 96, 97 and 98 mint sets, they are struck nice but this WQ

is gleaming with reflective properties.

The pics are crappy I had to tilt the obverse to really show the mirrors.

Thanks,

Scott

NGC designates WQ's PL? I'm pretty sure the TPG ATS doesn't. Is this correct?

 

EDIT: This is the toughest coin I've ever shot, over an hour screwin around with light distribution. I thought DMPL Morgans were tough!

I say YES. Where's Jason when you need him!
Excuse me for my newbness but who's Jason?
Jason is a very knowledgeable collector. I haven't seen him around much lately, but he has an excellent collection of PL coins in fact I'd say he has a PL type collection. His official name here is physics-fan3.14 PM him, send him this thread link and I'd bet he'd answer you. I know I PM'd him once recently and he answered me even though I haven't seen him post in a thread since.

Just a bit of information from the NGC census:

 

NGC has graded 139,321 Washington Quarters dated from 1932-1998 (Eagle Back WQs).

 

Of those, NGC has designated 197 (0.14% or one out of about every 700 graded) as "PL" and a single coin as "DPL" -- the DPL is a 1992-D quarter.

 

The "PL" list is below, sorted from most graded PL to least graded PL:

 

1998 D (40 coins)

1990 P (38 coins)

1947 S (21 coins)

1972 D (19 coins)

1991 P (14 coins)

1989 P (10 coins)

1993 P (9 coins)

1950 S (5 coins)

1992 P (5 coins)

1992 D (4 coins)

1946 S (3 coins)

1968 (3 coins)

1972 (3 coins)

1989 D (3 coins)

1948 S (2 coins)

1964 D (2 coins)

1968 D (2 coins)

1987 P (2 coins)

1993 D (2 coins)

1995 P (2 coins)

1943 S (1 coins)

1969 D (1 coins)

1971 D (1 coins)

1988 P (1 coins)

1994 D (1 coins)

1994 P (1 coins)

1996 D (1 coins)

1997 D (1 coins)

Note the squarish rims. This is fairly common on PL's made after about 1988.

 

The mint has been burnishing some mint set planchets since at least 1986.

Jason is Physicsfan314. He was working on a PL type set and is very knowledgeable about prooflike coins.

That would KILL the value if it graded PL by effectively DOUBLING the population, and you would be responsible

 

True, maybe I should just keep it raw, why ruin a pop1 coin.

 

EDIT :Can anyone provide pics of a slabbed PL 90's WQ?

Many Mint Sets from 1987 through 1998 are known with these reflective properties, but the Mint Sets for 1996 ad 1998 are among the most commonly known for producing Denver halves and quarters in full Prooflike. It's hard to tell if both sides of this piece are solid, from your pics, but I think at least the obverse is all there.

 

Few coins qualify for PL at NGC, so if you have one, it is still somewhat rare, though the market for this is undeveloped, at present.

Here are a couple belonging to physicsfan(Jason).

 

Both are NGC MS67 PL. Sorry, I didn't take a photo of the slab. Jason may have them in his Registry.

It's surprising just how little interest there is in modern PL's. Every date probably exists in the clad series but some are remarkably scarce and many dates will tend to have no examples sufficiently PL to recieve the designation unless they adjust the parameters for the tougher dates. PL '74 clad, for instance is not extremely PL and is very scarce.

 

One of these days I'm going to put a set of these together from coins I've set aside over the years.
