Owner's Comments

This is the first coin I submitted to PCGS (or any tpg). It was against the advice from the dealer i bought it from, who at the time explained "despite it being a nice 1951 proof quater it just isnt worth enough for encapsulation" but curiosity got the best of me. I paid the $40 grading fee (+ the cost of the quater $40) and when it came back in a pf65 holder, I understood why I should have taken the dealers advice. Live and learn.

The 1951 Proof Washington Quarter has the second lowest mintage from the 1950-1964 Proof Washington Quarter series.

Proof: In proof non cameo or deep cameo it is not difficult to find up to PR67 grade. In PR68 it becomes much more difficult to find.

Proof Cameo: Most examples displaying Cameo surfaces are scarce. The majority of Cameo examples fall in the PR65-PR67 range. Anything grading higher than PR67 Cameo is considered rare.

Proof Deep Cameo: Examples displaying Deep Cameo surfaces are almost unheard of. Although, there are a few examples known but they are considered extremely scarce in any condition.
