Today is Friday February 27th, so we move on to the Standing Liberty Quarter, Type 1 (with breasts exposed). This includes all 1916’s (the key date in this series) and some 1917’s. Many agree this is one of the most beautiful designs on U.S. coinage.
Edit: I now see from his reply below that @lordmarcovan is better. Welcome back!
Here’s one of each date:

A day without fine wine and working on your coin collection is like a day without sunshine!!!
Excuse my early post due to travel this weekend.
This is from my Dad's collection that was submitted by me and will remain in this set in honor and recognition of him.

Good morning. It is February 28th. Looks like it is time for the Type 2 Standing Liberty Quarters.
Our type today is the Standing Liberty Quarter Variety II (1917-30).
I must once again fall back on my ancient Registry type set from 25 years ago, with the lousy small scans for images.
This 1930 PCGS MS65 FH OGH was my "best of type". Sorry I don't have better pictures of it.
For some reason I remember selling this coin to @tradedollarnut, many moons ago, and being a little surprised that a collector of his caliber would actually want something that a lowly collector like myself owned.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

I like the color on that one. I had a 1917 Type I with some color like that. I tried to get it graded, but it came back in a body bag. I dumped it for a small loss.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

While @robec’s colormonster is lovely, I’m actually liking your blast white ones.

It was already graded when I bought it. I probably would have had similar luck.

Common grade of one of the most common dates in the entire series……still one of my favorite coins in my entire collection. This is just about the “perfect” circulated Seated 25c to my eyes.
In the past, @lordmarcovan asked me to fill in for him to “turn the page” if it appears he may be taking some time off. Being it’s after 4 am Eastern time, here goes:
Today is Sunday March 1st, so it’s time for the Washington Quarter, SILVER. While in theory the PCGS digital Dansco 7070 limits this slot to Washington Quarters dated 1964 and earlier, I believe like with the Roosevelt Dimes earlier in this thread, Silver Washington Quarters of ANY date are ok to be posted today.
Here’s mine:

Here’s a relatively cheap but very flashy one I had.
And a metal detector find, which was dug near a small toy “Captain Braddock” badge that was a kid’s promo from the 1951-53 TV show “Racket Squad”. There was also quite the Wheatie harvest in that yard, with Wheat cents dating back to 1912. This and a 1945-S War nickel were the only silver, though.

Despite knowing there would be only bad old scans for images, I decided to look back at my early-2000s Registry type set to see what my past “best of type” was.

I bought a 1932 in Unc. to have the minor type with the light motto. It's still raw.
This one is for the type.

It looks better in hand 👍
Thanks to @winesteven for keeping the thread going while I was out sick.
I don't have any SLQs at the moment, except in my Detector Finds album (no pics of those, and I never dug a T.1 anyway).
Here is the most recent Type 1 I've had.
My "best of type" was this white MS64 FH from about 25 years ago. (This small image done on a flatbed scanner is all I have of it.)
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

I have 4 of these for some reason and none of them are better than VG8.....

Once again, welcome back @lordmarcovan . Glad you’re feeling better.
Here’s a coin from my Standing Lib Quarter Full Head DATE set. I chose to do a DATE set for two reasons.
Since there are fewer coins, and I can pick the most common mint for each of those, that allowed me to afford higher grades for these coins.
This is my 1918. I bought it five years ago on GC as a MS66FH w/CAC. It then got the plus from PCGS via Reconsideration, which doubles its value:
