I did get the 1940 D over the weekend and must admit the coin looks Great in hand. I have looked at a few examples and this one clearly in hand shows the Extra D.

Plus for the first time this coin went up 100 bucks in the price guide.....woohooo.......Enjoy

The 1940-D/D is a rare coin! Congratulations on acquiring it!

Hey Rich Thanks

This one Just came back from Grading Only With a Few Others.

Wanted to thank you for the Coin again.

Anyone care to Guess the Grade without looking it up?

It came out of a Anacs MS 65. I owe Rich a Steak Dinner.

This is the DDR and will send it back for Reholder and Variety with a Few Others..

Enjoy

RichieURich · January 28, 2016 7:25AM

No dinner required, I am just glad you are happy to have the coin!

I hope to have some more cool varieties soon!

1tommy · January 29, 2016 9:28PM

Thanks Rich

I was surprised the coin came back MS 66 and ties one other for Top Pop.

Grades Posted for my last batch of send in 6 and pay for 5.

First up Guess the Grade........

Enjoy

This is my 1950 s quarter PCGS MS-66 CAC, AKA Tom Bush's favorite coin!

CAC won't gold sticker it, even though they believe it to be MS-67.

NorCalJack · January 31, 2016 5:27AM

Mr. Relief,

That is a really nice 50-S. That would look good in any set.

Thanks for posting

Jay

keyman64 · January 31, 2016 6:58AM

Nice 1950-S!

TomB · January 31, 2016 7:34AM

The two 1950-S WQs posted here are fabulous! I have seen UHR's coin in-hand and would buy it in a heartbeat. The coin is, in my opinion, a slam dunk MS67. That is not why I would buy it, however; I would buy it because it is gorgeous.

Sunshine Rare Coins · January 31, 2016 8:11AM

Thanks, Tom. The only way I would sell it if I found a nicer MS-66!

If you look on PCGS coinfacts, it looks nicer than all the MS-67+'s!

Let's jumpstart this again. Here is a reverse-

cointime · February 11, 2016 1:23PM

Tom,

Looks pretty close to the reverse on my 1943-P

keyman64 · February 12, 2016 12:29PM

Nice, Tom!

JCLIGHTBRIGADE · February 13, 2016 6:20AM

Here is another Reverse-

NorCalJack · February 13, 2016 2:13PM

Nice find on the ETF. The ETF does not show up very well on your photo, but the photo of it on Coinfacts really does show the ETF really well. That is a very hard coin to find for sure, since it technically is the first to graded by PCGS. I have seen the photo in the CPG and you coin looks just like that photo.

Congrats on finding that coin.

Jay

JCLIGHTBRIGADE · February 14, 2016 2:22AM

Thanks Jay,

It's been the one coin I could never find after searching for several years, the one coin that I always considered to be the "Holy Grail" of Washington Varieties. Here's a close up macro shot of the ETF's.

Great thread! After years of being a barber collector, with brief stops in seated quarters and an occasional $10 and $5 Lib, I thought, for some crazy reason, to pick up a few Gem Washington 25C to sort of relive my younger days in collecting. Coupling an appreciation for dirty skin (see Barbers) and more funds than 30 years ago, I just went on a tad of a buying and trading party.

Probably not registry stuff per se, mostly from the 40's, but in PCGS66 with some Cac and + thrown in for good measure. And a 32-D in 64, because every little set needs an anchor. Seems like a market that represents value these days, so I'm buying a few that fit my favorite look.

Please forgive the janky screen grab collage, but I wanted to say hi to the WQ crowd, so I'll just leave this here.

sparky64 · February 16, 2016 3:28PM

Atta boy, dogwood.

Great group.

TomB · February 22, 2016 12:28AM

I may be in the minority, but I think the re-release of the OGH looks pretty dang cool. Also, that re-engraved TF coin is really neat.

TomB · February 22, 2016 12:29AM

Watch out, dogwood! Resistance is futile.

TomB · February 22, 2016 12:30AM

By the way, here is the obverse of the coin I posted a week or so ago-

erwindoc · February 23, 2016 10:58AM

Dang Tom! Some nice looking quarters. Now Im going to have to get mine imaged!

BG · February 27, 2016 9:49PM

Alas, this one is sold:

NorCalJack · March 4, 2016 8:38AM

Here is a photo of my new coin that I got today

This may be my new favorite coin. The photo does not do it justice.

BG, that is one heck of a lot of color for a 1935-D! As you know, they typically do not come with smooth color gradation so that must have hurt when you sold it.

BG · March 5, 2016 3:53PM

You're right Tom.

1tommy · March 6, 2016 5:31AM

Nice Pickup Jay.

I think I have seen that coin before or was going to bid and forgot.

It's a Nice addition to your Registry Set..

Enjoy

1tommy · March 12, 2016 12:10AM

Here are my Latest 5 Coins added to my Registry Set.

The 1953 D/D is wrong and will be going back to get the DDR-801

Enjoy

My New Registry Set...............

TomB · March 12, 2016 1:23AM

Maybe I'm just an OGH geek or something, but those WQs in the retro-OGHs look fabulous!

Clear-cut admission of geekdom is the first step toward recovery!

cointime · March 12, 2016 12:40PM

I have to say those retro labels are growing on me also

The Washintons look great as well

NorCalJack · March 15, 2016 4:55AM

Tom,

I really do like the look of the old holders. I wish PCGS would allow you to pick the type of label you could slab your coins in.

The 53- D/D is a nice variety that I would not mind owning one day, of course I would want one that is not mislabeled.

Thanks for sharing the photos.

Jay

cladking · March 16, 2016 10:46AM

Funny thing is, I never cared all that much for the Washington quarter design. I sure love all these Gems though.

I think what I like best about these coins is the thrill of the hunt and knowing that with persistence you really can find the spectacular coins. Some coins may have better designs but Washingtons strike up well enough that a few great coins get made every year.

erwindoc · March 19, 2016 11:46AM

Recently had the opportunity to have many of my coins imaged. Finally got the photos back and I wanted to share them here. The link is to my set. While lots of them still need to be imaged professionally, I tried to pick the ones most in need of quality images. I will complete the others as time and funds allow. Big thumbs up to Tom Bush and his photography skills!!! Enjoy!

Spectacular looking quarters erwindoc!

Great pics as well!

keyman64 · March 20, 2016 8:36AM

Nice 54-S and 53-D.

TomB · March 20, 2016 10:23AM

It was great to see your WQs!

NorCalJack · March 23, 2016 10:23AM

TomB · March 24, 2016 7:25AM

That is a wild looking 1948-D! Wow!

1tommy · March 25, 2016 5:03AM

Those are some crazy colors Jay Nice addition to your set.

I picked this one off ebay yesterday and already have the 802 in MS 66.

Enjoy

My Other Registry Set With This One...

docg · March 27, 2016 9:56AM

Nice Tommy!

keyman64 · March 29, 2016 7:31AM

Neat 48-D!

Congrats Tommy!

keyman64 · March 29, 2016 2:51PM

Not mine but I just saw this while browsing recent Coin Facts images.

It was paired with a nice 58-D Half as well.

Holy Mackerel! The obverse is stunning, but the reverse leaves me scratching my head a little bit.

1tommy · April 16, 2016 6:07AM

Picked up this 1944 D DDO FS-101 from Ebay.

Anyone care to guess the Grade?

I also picked up 6 Rattlers all with CAC stickers( 1 Gold) and all Washington Quarters from the BST.

Enjoy

My Complete Variety Set.....

sparky64 · April 16, 2016 10:46PM

Nice pick up 1tommy!

I've said before how I like this series but just can't quite grasp grading. Especially mid MS.

Yours sure looks like a luster bomb.

I'll say MS65 just to throw out a guess.

1tommy · April 21, 2016 1:36AM

Sparky

The coin is in a MS 63 holder and in Hand its a 65 or a 66.

So will play the crack out game and see what happen's.

I also just got in this Variety. It's another coin I wish they would grade just the coin and NOT the variety. But from what I understand they do this on ALL 1943 Quarter's even when you do not ask...

The 6 Rattler's should be here on Saturday and picked up 7 Quarter's in a Library of Coins Album.

They said the coin's were tarnished but when I got the Album most were Beautifully Toned and the 68 S appears to be the DDO.....

Enjoy

Been a while for me but I just picked up a 1960 PR66 DCAM.

Very watery fields.

Inexpensive fun added to my set.

1tommy · May 7, 2016 1:18AM

Mark,

Congrats on the newest addition to your set and that is a nice looking Dcam.

I finally got these 6 Rattler's Released from the previous owner and added to' my set.

Enjoy

My Variety Set..............

NorCalJack · May 7, 2016 7:41AM

Tom,

I really like the vintage look of the Rattler holders. The 39 has a nice golder hue to it. In fact they all have good color. Congrats

Jay
