Nice impaired proof, looks like it was recently released into the wild. I'm not seeing any obvious circulation damage. Quote:

Great find!  Maybe PR-65? Errers and Varietys.

i told my girlfriend that most the damage had to of come from being in her purse for a day because it doesn't look like it spent much time in a drawer full of coins slamming into it. my sister has been collecting these since 1976 cause thats when she was born so now I can surprise her with a real Gem of a find. thanks for all the info everybody

one more thing, what exactly is the impairment on this coin? the "e pluribus" on the reverse looked like md to me but I'm not the guy you want making that decision either lol

there is no "Impairment" on the coin. this term is used when a proof coin makes it way into circulation and there are signs that it had. the most prominent marks that would indicate this is the right obv field scratches. you would not find that on a proof coin that was never circulated. photographing proofs is not an easy task. glare from lighting can alter the surfaces and also create shadowing. however, there may be some MD going on although not very common proof coins Proofs are struck in a controlled environment with high&-precision dies and planchets. However, even in this setting, minor mechanical issues can cause Machine Doubling. |

Something strange about this: it's been out in the field for 50 years and still looks this way.  Or maybe some Dad will miss this quarter from his Washington collection album. (Kids these days)  |

Let's take a positive spin on the release into the wild: some proud American coin enthusiast is celebrating the 250th anniversary of Independence by sprinkling some neat vintage coins into circulation. I plan to do the same at our annual fall fest booth!
I would have said PR58 based on the obverse circulation evidence. But I fully admit that I don't even remember reading articles about grading proof coins found in circulation.

Even if it doesn't have significant value, it is still a beautiful coin
