Yesterday, I recieved the last "hole-filler" for my c.s. Washington set from Tom. It is one drop-dead-gorgeous '36-D. It may only be a "64", but the color that this coin has is just phenomenal! 
Tom and I worked a deal that sent this coin to me, and a half dozen proofs to him. It was great to put such a deal together in which both members advanced their sets - and all through these boards.
As my comments on the set states "thanks to the help of C.U. message board members", I'd like to thank all of you here that helped put this set where it is.
And thank you, again Tom, for such an exquisite final piece.
Let the upgrades commence! (anyone got a '39-S in a '6?)

Thank you for the nice post regarding our trade. I think it proves that people on this board enjoy this hobby very much and want to help each other out whenever possible. What was great about this trade was that both of our sets gained from it with nice, high-quality coins! I'm completely happy with the coins I got from you, and I know you like the '36-D you received from me. Can't ask for much more than that!
Regarding a reply herein, yes, I did hate to part with this coin, as it was a real beauty. I recently upgraded this date in my set, and after I got to know Don and knew he needed this date to complete his set, I couldn't think of a better guy to let the coin go to! I'm glad it all worked out.
Thanks again for your kind words, Don. It was a pleasure to work with such a nice guy like you!
Best regards,
Tom Schiera

I brought the coin to Santa Clara, today, and showed it to Mitch. He loved the color, and thought it could be a good candidate for re-grade to a '5.
Thanks for passin' on it, Bob.
DeepCoin,
Couldn't agree with you more on your last sentence!
As for the Mercs, I'm thinkin' of gettin' back to them, now. Or wait, maybe Standin' Libs. Ahh then there's them Walkers! When it comes to those three, I'd rather have three incompletes than one complete and none of the others!
Regards,
Don
As I said in another post"it is great when we are are able to help each other accomplish these kind of deals.I wish someone could help me get my last one.

Craig and I had fun looking for colored Mercs, Roosys, and Washingtons('course I spent some time at J. Kline's table!
On the Way home, my new '32-S was waitin' in my p.o. box.
I assure you all, it's a lot better lookin' than the picture shows.
It was nice meeting some of our board members. Sorry we couldn't stay longer and meet some others.
All 'n' all, a very nice and productive day!

It was great seeing Don in Santa Clara (once I figured out which Don was Don
You not only had a super 1936(d) quarter but a couple other strong, high end, coins I thought would have a decent shot to upgrade. One thing was clear, the silver Wash quarters (this) Don was assembling were high, high, end pieces!!
I won a super toned 1954(p) quarter in the Heritage sale tonight in PCGS-MS66 (3 coin lot). Anyone else out there think it was a decent shot MS67 coin?
Also, the NGC coins were selling very cheaply. I bought a nice white 1938(p) Quarter in NGC-MS67 for $675 plus commish. I know a couple dealers were asking $3,000+ for the PCGS counterpart. Wondercoin.
