Want to publicly thank Gayle from the Registry Staff for talking a computer illiterate through the registry process today. My 65th ranked Proof Washington Quarter set (1936-64) is up.
Although the set is not highly ranked since it only runs 1950-64, it contains 3 coins I consider to have "wonder coin color," and overall the set is eye candy.
Edited to add PCGS did a decent job on the photos, although a few are nicer in hand.

Can't wait to see these beauties!
Later, Paul.
Just to tease you, I added two available TruViews to my newly created Roosie proof set...13 more I need to send in to PCGS...on the bright side, I'm already up to number 109 in the 1950-64 category!??

My, my...where did that 1961 come from?

Seriously, this is disappointing.

And, it made me think of something ...
Should the Registry for Proof Washington Quarters add two additional sets...
1. 1936-1942 Proof Quarters
2. 1950-1964 Proof Quarters
As shown in your collection, the earlier coins (with virtually zero chance for Cameo or DCAM) are different than the 1950-1964 coins. Your set starts in 1950. Would you like a registry set for just 1950-1964 Proof Quarters?
Let me know your thoughts.

Your comment was spot on. I was truly surprised that there is no 1950-64 set. Obviously, I consider this a complete set. You are also correct about the 1936-42 set. It also is a complete set in my opinion. Really, I've always considered the two to be the "old" and "new" silver proof sets....the same for Roosies and Franklins...??

Congrats on putting together such a beautiful set of toned proof quarters.

Attractively toned silver proof Washington quarters are not easy to find. Even more difficult is finding attractively toned clad proof Washington quarters from 1968-1998. Same goes for the 1965-67 SMS clad Washington quarters.

Hope you get the new set built 50-64.
Great looking set !
Roosie dimes (proof) will get photographed at FUN.
