We are thrilled to feature the Washington
Rainbows Collection in our March 2021 Las Vegas Auction, our first Showcase
event for Americana and United States coins and paper money of the year. It is
the all-Time Finest PCGS Registry Set of Silver Washington Quarters 1932-1964,
and was assembled with a focus on exceptional toning. The collection represents
the very pinnacle of quality for this series, combining both incredible eye
appeal and unsurpassed preservation. Nearly every one of the 83 coins therein
ranks at the top of the PCGS Population Report and many reflect the sole finest
known specimens. A plethora of CAC stickers emphasizes the truly superior
quality of the Washington
Rainbows Collection.
The iconic 1932-D
and 1932-S
key-dates are represented by MS-66 (PCGS) examples; none have been graded finer
for either issue. An astounding 26 coins have been awarded grades of MS-68 or
MS-68+ by PCGS, including the vibrantly toned 1948
which ranks as the sole finest at MS-68+ (PCGS) CAC. The
1937-D, 1953-D
and 1964
are particularly noteworthy for their spectacular color and have been graded
MS-67+ by PCGS; the 1953-D has also been approval by CAC. Each individual coin is
a treasure, and they come together to create an astounding and unprecedented
single collection.
