1969-D/D 25C RPM FS-501 MS66 Certification #45193461, PCGS #409936

Ron Guth

The 1969-D FS-501 Quarter is one of two varieties recognized by collectors as being worth a premium.  On this variety, the mintmark was first punched a little to far to the left and it was slanted slightly to the right.  On the other variety (FS-502), the mintmark was punched to the left but it is was in the correct vertical position. 

The small certified population for the 1969-D FS-501 Quarter is more a reflection of their low value than their rarity.  The best examples appear at the MS66 level.
