stevex6 Pillar of the Community 3352 Posts	Posted 07/20/2011 11:53 am I have been attempting to buy one of every type of Canadian quarter and/or 20ct piece (well, within financial reason) ... therefore, I have been collecting the "Painted" reverse types as well as the ol' classic beauties from the 1800's ... however, I am now questioning whether I should even bother collecting the newer painted versions and/or the oversized painted quarters etc, or whether I am merely throwing money away for nothing!? => what do ya think?

Especially as they haven't been recognized yet by Charlton, or ICCS. I find modern quarters unappealing, except for the mules and wrong planchets. But that's just me :). Report this Post to the Staff
stevex6 Pillar of the Community 3352 Posts	Posted 07/20/2011 4:52 pm Hey, what about the oversized "Bird Series" quarters? (I think they are actually quite nice ... but the rest of the modern-painted quarters merely look like bad artwork) ... oh well, my OCD makes me buy them, no matter what they look like => if it's a quarter, apparently I'm hard-wired to buy it!?

She was supplanted by the George's, and honestly her bust visage does NOT show an attactive person, IMO, Edited by Tam 07/21/2011 09:54 am Report this Post to the Staff
stevex6 Pillar of the Community 3352 Posts	Posted 07/21/2011 10:08 am LOL ... sorry, of course, my bad => I have numerous quarters with Queen Victoria's obverse ... but because I'd started this discussion by mentioning modern painted quarters, I stupily assumed that danlos9551 was describing a mysterious painted quarter that I knew nothing about! (I'm now embarrassed) ... man, I'm surprised that I didn't ask "ummm, what's a quarter?" Thanks Tam Report this Post to the Staff
