NGC Expert Comments:
Collectors of the 1930s seemed to be in no hurry to acquire the newly-issued proofs, and it wasn’t until 1940 that the number of proof Washington Quarters sold exceeded 10,000 pieces! Rare from the outset, these coins have become only more so in the top grades, due to mishandling and poor storage.Selecting only the very finest examples to be found, this collector has assembled a truly amazing set. The 1936 issue, the rarest in the set, grades an astonishing PF-67*. The remaining pieces all grade at least PF-68, the 1938 proof also bearing the NGC star for outstanding eye appeal. This set’s 1942 grades an almost unimaginable PF-69*!
