1965 25C AU55 NGC On 95% Silver Planchet
<B>1965 25C Washington Quarter--On a 90% Silver Planchet--AU55 NGC.</B></I> Breen-4416. 6.26 gm. Type Three reverse with leaftip touching the A in DOLLAR. The Mint struck 90% silver 1964 quarters and clad 1965 quarters simultaneously, possibly to prevent the appearance that silver coins were hoarded from circulation. Considering the billions struck, planchet mix-ups from this transitional period are surprisingly rare. This lightly toned steel-gray example retains substantial luster, although slight friction is present on Washington's hair.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> John Flanagan<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
