Between Coin shows, my LCS, and the bay I've picked up 29 Washington quarters in the last month. I'm down to needing just 5 to complete the set...

1932 D
1932 S
1936 P
1936 D
1937 D

I just keep chugging along...

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!

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!
