Two new pickups for my Registry set. The toning reminds me of the beautiful Texas sunsets I currently get to enjoy throughout the fall, with golds and some pastel colors mixed in.  The 1952-S is full-on toned, both sides; the 1954-S more so on the obverse, but only the slightest touch of red on the reverse. As an added bonus, the 1952-S also has a die crack running from the eagle's left wing tip through the last S in STATES.  How would you grade these two quarters vs. PCGS? 1952-S  1954-S  Thanks for looking.

Wow, the reverse on that '52-S is stunning. I'm gonna guess MS66 on both.

Top is 66, other one is 66star, 66+ or 67.

Only two guesses?  Must be harder than I thought. Posting anyway, 1952-S PCGS MS67 / CAC Green Bean  1954-S PCGS MS65 / CAC Green Bean  That coin is a late die state with extremely heavy reverse die polishing.

Late to this party too. I was at 66 for both, so my average was correct :-)

I love toned Washingtons! But frosty and blast white are okay, too.

I usually wait 2 days, but I forgot when I posted the grade it had only been like a day or a half day or whatever. Overworked and overstressed, and not paying attention.

I love the obverse toning happening on the 54. I would hope it continues to tone a bit even in the holder.
