Owner's Comments

1947-S PCGS MS66 Washington Quarter, silver. Paid $35.25 total ($30 bid + $5.25 shipping) in 1-bid eBay auction 7/9/2023 from seller in Bridgeville, California. Connor had recommended bidding as much as $38.50 total. The seller had initially offered the coin for $45 total by buy-it-now, but I wisely instead waited for the auction to open at $30 and surprisingly I was the only bidder !

Expert Comments

David Hall

Because of its low mintage, third lowest of the 1941 to 1964 Washington quarters, the 1947-S was saved by collectors/speculators in the year of issue and thereafter. Because many uncirculated rolls were saved, Gem examples of this date are among the most common in the Washington quarter series.
