My Newest Purchase 3 Left to Finish Registry Set.

RadioContestKing · April 30, 2013 6:53AM

Have to start out by Thanking Robin(DoubleBagger) a member on this site who let me purchase this beautiful coin go as he replaced the one in his set. I really love the toning on this proof and in hand the coin is solid and now leaves me searching for the last 3 in My Registry Set. I was introduced to building this set from Modcrewman (Don) after I finished the Type B and C quarters. I really never thought I could complete this in alittle over 2 years but as I learned about the Varieties in this set I fell in Love. Almost all of the Varieties I have found raw and had them graded and have two more upgrades 1 of which will be a New Top Pop. This set is a great set for any new Y/n to start. The expensive one 1936 thru 1942 will take time and money but the rest can still be picked up raw. Recently started to converse with JT Stanton and he has taken me under his wings in teaching me more about the ddo and ddr's and I feel lucky to get his advice and his time. A recent ebay sale of a 1962 ddo proof that I contacted him about, he saved me the money as it was NOT the ddo and also contacted the seller explaining to him, and that guy did remove the listing. Still alot to learn and I truly Love This Series......Enjoy Tom

I STILL love that coin, Tom, and you have become a solid Washie guy. I give you all the credit in the world. You did it the right way....got intrigued, jumped on a few, then settled in, GOT THE BOOK (which a lot don't do until they get burned), got in good with Modcrewman (who does know his shyte about Washies), and you LEARNED about the series (and you picked it up in a rather short time, also.....just 2 years or so...you've come a long way, bud).

Also, having JT Stanton take you 'under his wing', well, you can only become better/more knowledgeable than you are now....some of the things JT Stanton can 'learn ya', you just can't find in a book.

I really look forward to seeing your set after you complete it!!!

Way to go Tom!

I am quite certain that I am getting too much credit here...just doing what a hundred other board members would do, in sharing what we know. You have done your own hard work by finding and paying for the coins.

And BTW great looking quarter.

Thanks everyone. I really have had a blast putting this set together and Don you got me started on these and yes I did the research and spent the bucks but you have helped like others along the way. When I first joined here I was buying this and that and it took awhile to finally realize PICK a series is the way I needed to go. I appreciate all the help from those who love these Quarters. I finally made a 67 cameo 1956 Die gouge a couple weeks ago and thought it would be the new Top Pop. The same week someone made a 68 cameo and I still feel good about finding this Cameo....Enjoy Tom
