Wizzy1 Valued Member United States 430 Posts	Posted 01/09/2016 4:32 pm I recently bought a Superbird 1952 Proof Washington quarter. Its in an Unattributed NGC slab, but the S is there. It is pretty difficult to photograph since it is small and does not stand out in relief well. PF 64. Report this Post to the Staff

batboy Pillar of the Community United States 650 Posts	Posted 01/09/2016 6:16 pm Don't you need to let the eagle find a telephone booth so he can change first before the S is visible? Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 01/09/2016 6:25 pm Seriously, what's a telephone booth? Haven't seen one in ages. Report this Post to the Staff

Wizzy1 Valued Member United States 430 Posts	Posted 01/09/2016 7:00 pm It is believed a mint worker etched the proof die to create the "S". Attributed as FS-901. A greater rarity is to find a FS-902 superbird with reworked tail feathers. Both are only found in the proof 1952 quarter. Report this Post to the Staff
