AboutMyCoin1985-S Proof Washington Quarter in PR60
A 1985-S proof Washington quarter graded PR60 is that coin in one particular state of preservation — the date and the mint mark are already fixed, and PR60 is what a grader called the surface that survived.

What PR60 means
A 1985-S proof Washington quarter in Proof (PR-60) is a proof that has been handled badly: the mirrors are there but dulled, and the open fields of Washington’s cheek and jaw carry hairlines heavy enough to see without magnification. Nothing about it circulated — this is what happens to a proof taken out of its packaging and wiped.
A slab, a dealer’s list or a price guide may write this grade PR-60, PF60 or PF-60. They are the same grade and the same 1985-S proof Washington quarter.
Where this grade sits
