2 New Top Pop Varieties and 1 that almost made it and My First MS 67 Quarter

1tommy

Well I started a MS Quarter Variety Set 6 months ago and this first quarter I actually found the 8th known example of the 1943 S Goiter is VG 08. Found this new one a couple months ago on ebay and the grade just came back yesterday. I thought a Top Pop on this one but fell short by one grade and ended up getting a MS 64 which is still a great upgrade and there are now Only 11 examples graded.

<< <i> >>

Second Quarter was purchased at a Heritage Auction from the MJK Collection Proof 66 Cameo DDO 101 and I have been looking for this example for over a Year in Cameo. Once in hand I knew it was a upgrade from the Proof 66 Cameo to join the other 6 examples, Top Pop Proof 67 Cameo.

Sometimes you have to pay up for a Variety and this one came from RCNH and my new friend Paul. Its a 1953 D DDR 801 and is the Top Pop MS 65 no picture yet but in hand the coin is solid. As soon as I got that coin and looked it over I found one of the pickup points that is on everyone of these with the DDR Amazing. I also picked up my First MS 67 a 1952 Quarter.

I am really having a Blast with working on the MS Variety Set and continue to search for the last 2 Varieties for the Proof Set. And I also need to Thank Notsure Ken who GAVE me a 1957 MS 66 Type B to upgrade my 65. Enjoy

fine looking coins Tom. Congrats on the pickups!

Congrats, Tom! You have a great passion for this series!

Woah, maybe it's my eyes, or maybe it's the photo, but is that '43 really popping out at me? The reverse looks fine, which leads me to believe it's the photo.

Very strange. But anyway, congrats on making some top pops! I know the feeling that moment you view the results online, overwhelmed with glee

Cool stuff, congrats!

SkyMan

Very nice looking coins and congratulations on the varieties. Best of luck on finding them all.

Great job Tommy.....looks like you have the same passion for Quarters that I do for Dimes!

Looking forward to seeing you at the Springfield show next month.

Keep on finding those Quarters!

I really like the look of those old silver Washingtons when they come nice.

No matter what I've said in the past silver is a great metal for making coins.

Casman

Tom awesome coins and thanks for getting me interested in the quarters. Here's one of my trueviews that just posted:

Hey Brian the 1943 S is one of those UGLY babies that only a True Collector could Love. I also believe this to be the First Coin referred to as the Goiter Now we know there are others in different series including the 1958 d Penny that I got from Daniel Carr. Love The Goiter.....Thanks everyone and I have a few more amazing finds that are coming in this series. Congrats Cris On the 1957 D Quarter as those are Very Special and Hard to find Variety... Enjoy tom

That 52 is a toughie in 67. Nice job all around!

Tom,

Those are all nice finds. I also collect Washington Quarters, but have not really gotten into the varieties, but you are starting to peak my interest with every post. I do have a full set of Washington Quarters raw in BU, and I need to check these for varieties. I am aware of the Type B variety and I did find a '59 Type B in my collection.

Thanks for sharing.

Hey You Need to turn on your PM Function so we can talk...............tom

Tom, as usual, nice plucks! Your eye is good, man, and I LOVE the Goiter!!! Nice upgrade for a new pop-top on that '53 Proof, too!!! Those eyes, man, getting better as you get older!!

Casman, that is a nice looking coin! You did well with that.

sparky64

Congratulations Tom. Started only 6 months ago....that's persistence.
Speaking of persistent, you're like a dog on a bone over on the BST, looking for those two varieties. Hope you find them.

I really like Washingtons too but am not versed in the varieties.

I've been picking some lightly toned examples from the 40's thru the 50's simply because I love the look and it isn't breaking the bank.

Super...Just super, Tom!

Congratulations.

I remember Tom first coming here, going through rolls of silver quarters left to him by his folks. Once he got Variety Fever (started with the B's), man, Tom just picked up the ball (the CPG) and ran like Forrest Gump, until he became one of 'the' Washie variety guys (he's had good help from other members, and others who aren't), but he's listened to and absorbed and maintained that knowledge. But, he STILL had to take the helm and move forward on his own). He's CERTAINLY surpassed me (about after the B craze died down, what 6 months after he joined???...lol)), and to think, I actually gave HIM information for help, at one time....lol Tom's one guy that really learned, and I commend him for the knowledge he left himself open to, and learned, not having everyone here do the work for him, as some mostly former members did. Hell, with some of the varieties (and there's a ton of varieties!), you just can't be a plastic buyer, you have to find them in the wild. Tom has a knack for finding them, though the refresh button on his computer must need replacing by now!!!

Funny to see this old thread bumped up and so many coins since I first started on this set. It's been a fun 3 years.



I did notice in the past month the New MS 67 Goiter and have not had the pleasure of seeing that coin.



I am surprised there was No picture of it in Coin facts. Do you know where this coin is?



Enjoy





After 3 Years this is Where I am At..................
