Did I miss srs77's reply?


jbuck linked to several of srs' photos in his post above. Let's just say it doesn't look like a junk silver set!

Welcome to the Washington Club ;)

My PCGS set is at 64.78 average grade, I'm trying to get the elusive 65 soon, but it's a major expense.

Georges are gorgeous in high grades, and there's enough variety to keep cherrypickers interested as well.

I am also a Washington quarter fan! I love these coins and I am also working on a set. I am currently missing 28 coins, but I have the 32-D and 32-S.

Congrats on being so close!

Excellent! You can see the finish line.


Thanks JBuck for posting some of the links.

For those who asked, my grades are what I can afford at the time of purchase. I am always looking to upgrade when I can but with 320 Washington quarters in the collection from 1932 through 2016 I would say most (around 80% - 90%) are BU. The rest are anywhere from VF to AU. Now, when I finally add the 32s and the 32d to the collection, those we'll just have to wait and see. I'll see if I can put together a slide show of the entire group.

Paralyse, I'm envious... I wish mine was that average but I know I'm below that. I have some very nice specimens but not all are like that.. Congrats!

Thanks SRS! I'm going to try to hit average 65 this year. Lowest in the set is two 62's and highest are multiple 67's. It's #18 rank, I will never be able to compete with the great "Wondercoins" sets (average 67, are you kidding me..) because certain dates and mm's become almost unobtainable in 67 and better with single-digit populations and owners who won't sell. Still fun to pursue!

Paralyse, you have an awesome set! While mine is nowhere close to yours you are correct in that it is a blast to pursue the series. I have some motivation now after yours. I have about 20 coins that I have to upgrade into BU. These are coins that I obtained as a young boy collecting with my father and Grandfather. That's the joy of collecting though. The hunt is most of the fun! Congrats again on a great set!

Congrats on almost reaching the finish line. I would love to see pics of all you folks Washingtons. You are getting close to finishing your set and I'm just starting. Over the last 6 months I have become quite enthusiastic with the Washington series. Just kinda baffling/overwhelming at the cost of putting a nice set of them together.

You guys are making my Washington set pulled from almost entirely from circulation look bad. (I did have to buy the two key dates.)

Be proud, mine is the same way.

Although I had to buy a least half of the silver dates and all of the proofs.
