1932 PDS Washingtons for the Dansco

As with many of us with coin collecting OCD, my Washington collection started in one direction, and then expanded.
ORIGINALLY, circa 2011, I decided to put together a 1940 - 1964 set of slabbed Washies in MS66. A lot of the cost of a Washington set is in the 1932 - 1939 coins, so this was a way to put together an enjoyable and reasonably inexpensive collection without the big ticket coins.
After a while, I decided to build a raw toner 1940 - 1964 Dansco of Washingtons. Then came the standard coin collecting OCD of upgrading, and picking up the OCCASIONAL 1932 - 1939 and 1965 - 1985 Washington if they were attractive and reasonably inexpensive. I ended up building up 3 Danscos; an A, a B and a C toner one.
Solely for the A toner Dansco I decided to fill in the 1932 - 1939 range of Washingtons, as well as the 1965 - 1985 range of Washies (I stopped at 1985 because that was the end of the page of the Dansco where Washingtons still had some relief). Given that the endeavor was designed to be a fun low cost project, for the 1932 - 1939 Washingtons I decided that the 1932 PDS would be in the XF range, while the 1934 - 1936 coins would be predominantly AU and the 1937 - 1939 coins would be predominantly MS. I've finally gotten most of the 1932 - 1939 range imaged. You will have seen some of these coins previously, but some will be new to you.
Here then are the 1932 PDS Washingtons for the A Dansco. The P and S were picked up raw, the D was in a PCGS XF45 slab and cracked out. The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

@SkyMan ...That is quite a journey through Washington collecting... looks as if you have done very well though ... Cheers, RickO
Skyman. I enjpy looking at your Washington Quarter threads. You have a great eye.
Once you finish the circulation strikes you can then turn to the proof and SMS quarters. Lots of variety there, including brilliant, matte/satin, Cameo specimens. For each of these specimen categorires you can seek toned, untoned, errors and varieties.you also have silver and clad proif and SMS quarters. Further for the SMS quarters their appearances are extremely varied.
Hey now! Very nice my man!! You doing a fantastic job putting these together my coin brother. Hope to see you soon at a coin show, Sky.
Talk soon
Nice album coins.
