1950-D/S Washington Quarter FS-601

Documented Fact FS-601 is a 1950 Denver Washington quarter overmintmark with a final D punched over an earlier S. ^{[1] [2]}

Quick Hunt

1. Confirm the 1950 date and dominant D mintmark on the reverse.
2. Inspect the edges and interior of the D for coherent curved S remnants.
3. Match the entire D/S relationship to certified FS-601 close-ups.
4. Do not confuse it with the opposite 1950-S/D variety or a D/D repunch.

Primary Diagnostic

The final mintmark is D. Surviving portions of the earlier S must occupy the certified positions around and within that D.

What It Is Not

The 1950-S/D has a final S over D and is a separate coin. Damage, corrosion, and D/D repunching do not form the FS-601 S pattern.

Authentication Caution

Use stable magnification and several lighting angles. Match the complete marker relationship to certified examples, do not clean the coin, and obtain professional attribution before paying a substantial premium.
