1940 & 1940 S Washington Quarters, MS, 2 coins

Description: Ships in padded envelope with USPS tracking. Purchase of additional item(s) results in free shipping for all items. Never use staples. I use a scanner for imaging and normally place the coins right on the scanner glass. I bought these 2 coins, and they are in 2 x 2 stapled cardboard holders like most coin dealers use. Once I looked at them closely, I was not taking them out of the holders and placing them on the glass. I will remove the staples, so you don't have to, and put them in plastic flips before shipping. The closeup images were taken through the plastic of the stapled 2 x 2. They look close to what they would if I had put the coins directly on the glass. Out of respect for these coins and their heritage, I just won't do it. The previous owner of these coins was a now-deceased gentleman, and his son liquidated the collection. I was not able to buy any of the dates earlier than this, but I did see some of the coins of a later date. I've looked at a few nice quarters over the years, but based on these 2 coins alone, I feel comfortable that the gentleman's collection was very fine. Because they were part of a significant collection, I am selling them together, so they hopefully stay together in someone's personal high-grade collection for many years. I noticed a few things about these very high-grade coins: The 1940 S has some extra metal that was squeezed up around the obverse rim from George's hair ribbon to around past the motto. This coin is what folks like to call BU or a Gem, a real flashy coin. It has a few little spots where it is beginning to tone. The 1940 is starting to tone more, a light milky white color, so it is less brilliant than the 1940 S but is still a bright white coin. The toning is more pronounced on the reverse, and there is a patch around the "I" in "LIBERTY". It also has a little scuff/scrape mark above the motto where it probably took a hit from a reeded edge. There is a fabric or grain to the coin's surface on the obverse from the process of rolling the planchet sheet. Coins with that fabric will usually tone in interesting ways. It also has a few specks of what looks like PVC, those should probably be removed carefully with a tiny super soft bristle paint brush like an artist would use for fine lines and let gravity do the work.
