1940-D Washington Quarter Cleaned Or Not Cleaned

I don't want to bet Jessie, but it believe I see wear on the ear curl. The photos, or scans, or whatever they are are so monotone that I am calling wear and AU. In hand would be an easy call.
I want better pics! Spud, If you get it, please let us know what it looks like!
I looked on the bay, did not find it. Must be gone now . . . .
Kinda off topic, but the 40-D was the toughest coin out of the series for me. I was looking for MS65, and look EVERYWHERE for the right coin at a reasonable (not cheap by any means though!) example. Finally found one from a small dealer in New Hampshire. Still paid a tad too much, but I was getting desperate and really, it wasn't that bad a deal.

I'll take some pictures when I get it. :)

Its pretty clear with your photos its au.

Hmmm after looking at last photo's I'll go MS63...whatever it is it's a nice coin. Happy for you.

Sorry I was late responding, I forgot to hit the subscribe button.
Spud, I am leaning more toward MS now. Looks like a good solid strike with just a nick or two on the portrait. Might go 64-65.
That white sort of powdery color haze shows up now and then and what looks like rub may be contact with sister coins knocking the haze off.
As dull as that surface is, I might be tempted to dip it.
If it weren't headed for the Dansco, I believe it would be worth submitting for grade.
Jesse, the dealer was "Rare Coins of New Hampshire". A gentleman named Dave that treated me quite well.
It is in PCGS plastic as a 65. I think it is solid, but not overgraded. Ole' George is not nearly as beat up as the photos suggest. Something about my camera picks up little marks and makes them scream!!

Jon. That's one crisp strike! I am familiar with them as well. They have the buzzer door at the bank.They only deal with premium stuff mostly.

And thanks Mikey lol. Must be nice to have a buddy like that.

Oh yeah, I paid $130 for the coin. Maybe too much, but I wanted it. :)
