Just added this 1945-D MS65. It has nice luster and good overall eye appeal for a Denver issue 65. This acquisition also completes my Washington Quarter WWII Era Set on the CAC Registry, where I currently rank #4.

I really like that crescent of color! Maybe Ill get back into the series in the future! I just dont know if I have it in me to play with another registry set or set lower goals.

I started small. My first WQ was a very colorful MS67 example for my type set. I thought it was cool and picked up a few more “double-sided toners”, but had no intention of doing a full set. At some point five years ago I gave in and kept going.
You know how much effort it took to build your set the first time, so it probably seems like a lot to chew off again. But consider starting small first—maybe just one coin from each decade, or only coins in rattlers/OGH, or 36-42 proofs, etc.
My set will be “complete” soon, but I intend to continue doing selective upgrades when I see better looking toners in slightly higher grades. But I’ll never get to the MS67+ level and don’t feel any pressure to do so. It’s been a fun journey.
What is amazing to me is how the affection with the Washington Quarter has changed over the years. It used to be something people would ignore or even loathe but now it really is a beautiful thing to collect.
A Barber Quartet is made up of Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, and Halves.

Nothing is as expensive as free money.
