1935-D 25C

Description

1935-D Washington Quarter, PCGS MS67. This exceptional 1935-D Washington Quarter represents a significant offering from the early years of John Flanagan's iconic design series. Struck at the Denver Mint during a period of robust American economic recovery, this coin exhibits the sharp strike characteristics and refined "Medium Motto" hub variety that distinguishes the 1935-D from its predecessors. The Denver Mint's output of 5,780,000 pieces that year marked its highest Washington Quarter production to date, yet examples surviving in Gem condition remain notably scarce compared to contemporary issues from other facilities. The coin presents exceptional eye appeal with lustrous white surfaces and well-preserved strike definition throughout the design elements. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST displays the notably sharper and more defined lettering characteristic of the 1935-D, representing the transitional "Medium Motto" hub that bridged the softer 1932 original and the heavier 1936 standard. This technical distinction, combined with superior striking quality, makes the 1935-D particularly desirable to advanced collectors pursuing complete Washington Quarter type sets. Population data underscores the rarity of this issue in high grades, with PCGS recording only 35 examples certified overall and just 12 graded finer than the present specimen. Within the collecting community, the 1935-D is recognized as a semi-key date, with Gem examples commanding sustained collector interest. This MS67 example represents an impressive achievement in preservation, offering the combination of technical significance and conditional scarcity that defines serious numismatic collecting.
