Thank you, CalzoneManiac! I worded that a bit wrong, as I really love this example. I guess what I should have said that the 1916 Barber quarters are pretty easy to find in 65 so they aren't uncommon. However, it has taken me a long while to find one with really good eye appeal and nice luster (better than it appears in the pic) that this one has.

Quote: I don't have pictures but I just got my 1951 US Mint set with original boards and inner envelope. 1947 and 1949 US mint sets are in the mail and should get this week. 1947 and 1949? I'm assuming that these will be uncirculated sets? can't wait until we get to see them.

Only back into this collecting for 2 months now and this is another thing for me to look for in my quest for interesting silver coins. Thanks!

Thank you, mestephil, I've gone down so many rabbit holes in my collecting quests over the past 55 years or so, I sometimes have to just take a pause to figure out where I'm at...  . I've received inspiration from many others on this forum and another paper money forum which has really helped me in deciding where to focus my collecting energy. This is a beautiful hobby we share, and the great thing is it's completely up to each individual on how to pursue it!

@hokiefan Great quarter  . I'm still looking for a quarter barber for my set of 7070. It already began to seem to me that almost all that barber are rare. I have quite a few Barber dime and one half dollar, but not a single quarter in slab.

I actually bought this in February, but at 61mm diameter and 4.2 troy ounces, I fell in love with it. The thing could be used as a weapon! This one is for 1973, but I went on to get '71, '72, and '74. My in-laws were Panamanian and brought me silver 1 Balboa coins in the early '70's, but that collection was burglarized, so I feel justified now getting these. I really like the uncirculated releases of the 20 Balboa coins, but beyond what I have I am going to have to settle more on proofs, I am guessing, as uncirculated becomes less available.

Quote: 4.2 ounces of silver? 0.925 fine, but yeah, thanks. This attitude of "collecting what you like" is getting addictive. So much beautiful stuff out there. I am still trying to find my focus.
