Really nice collection.....As Silverwolf stated above, the 1937-1952 George VI 50c coins make for a rewarding series for your next efforts. Quite a few varieties there, if you are into that field of collecting. After finishing off the series, I have been trying to collect them in Cameo but don't seem to be able to get any in the 1947 through 1951 dates.

Right now I am undecided where to go from here. I have considered the 1937-1952 but they would probably have to be nice circulated examples. But even then it would be challenging with all the varieties.
I'm kinda thinking about finishing up the 1953-2017 Caribou quarters. I'm getting pretty close on that one. Then I could concern myself with the Olympic quarters and some others. Do already have the 1999/2000 ones.

pginrh is correct.. it's really fun to go for issues '37-52. Of course they're full of varieties, What I have been doing is I look to get one of each date in the best condition I can find... then I look for varieties but they don't have to be top condition. If I find a variety in better condition than the one I already have I swap it out.
I love your collection.. it looks fantastic... and if you do choose to go through '37-'52... make sure you post on here and ask lots of questions... pginrh was a fantastic learning resource and I can say he was the one completely responsible for me taking an interest that developed into a passion for the series.

Looking at my catalogue for 1937-52, none of the varities are insanely priced in MS 60 except for the 1947 ML C7 and to a lesser degree the 1949 Hoof, which are $6500 and $800 respectively. They may be the deal breaker for that set.

the '47 C 7 is a tough one to find cheap that's for sure... but if I'm not mistaken... Canadian Varieties found one on the bay and got it for a steal and a song! You just have to keep searching... I managed to pick up a '49 hoof.. although certainly not in MS grade but I would say high EF to Au for a very reasonable price.

Those are definitely some tough varieties. Just don't have that kind of money to pursue those. I will have to live with the fact that my sets won't truly be complete...but as complete as I can make them. It pains me that the 2000P will never be in my collection...oh how I want that coin! When I first started this I wasn't sure if I was gonna include varieties. However since they weren't terribly much I went ahead and got them. But the further back you go the cost of MS coins increases exponentially. And some of the varieties mentioned even in lower grades are just way out of reach for me.
