Original Standing Liberty Quarters

I have a couple of Registry Sets of Standing Liberty Quarters. Most of them are AU coins. I find it extremely difficult to find quarters for my sets that are original with some eye appeal. Dipped white AU coins are readily available in most of the standing liberty quarters I come across. I have actually removed higher graded quarters from my collection to place a lower graded quarter with original surfaces. Here are a few quarters from my set that I consider to be original. I have just posted the obverse. What is your preference?

LOL - I was about to ask how much for that 20D!
My sole SLQ.
From my Grandfather
That is a NICE coin!! The 1920 I bought back (just to have one) is a PCGS VF, but that coin is toned nicely! The other 1920 on top is a Super coin too! (GTO's were fun in my day as well)
In a follow up to my initial post, I also prefer the original coins for other reasons. How many collectors have purchased a blast white coin and had it turn after being encapsulated? I have.
I find that original SLQs are difficult to locate. That's a heavily dipped series, especially in AU-MS, for whatever reason. Be patient and wait for the nice original examples to pop up. They're out there!
