1952-D 25C Washington Quarter — PCGS MS65. A true Gem from the Denver Mint, this certified silver Washington Quarter is the toughest of the 1952 issues to secure in high grade. Collectors know the Denver strikes from 1951–1955 often show more contact marks than their Philadelphia and San Francisco counterparts, making clean, lustrous examples at the Gem level notably scarce. This PCGS MS65 offers strong eye appeal for the date, with sharp detail and surfaces that rise well above the typical D-mint quality of the era.

Numismatic significance:

• Scarce in Gem: The 1952-D is the standout rarity in Gem condition among the 1952 Washingtons, with MS66 and better being especially elusive.
• Big mintage, few Gems: Although 49,795,200 were struck at Denver, high-grade survivors are comparatively rare due to the issue’s characteristic abrasions.
• Registry and type appeal: A desirable combination of condition, Denver “D” mintmark, and certified quality that suits both advanced set builders and collectors seeking a premium silver quarter.
