Perused the truviews in Coinfacts today, more than a casual glance as something is afoot.

Noticed that PCGS just made new top pop Washingtons.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNND................................

They finally made the illustrious 55D in MS67! !!

Someone's got to either confess or take credit

I had previously posted about the 55-D MS67 quarter on Coinfacts last month. It was a long time coming ... about 29 years of work to nail that particular one down.

Another spectacular Washington Quarter I recently slabbed was a 1954-D in PCGS-MS67+ with great color. While not quite as tough as the 55-D, locating a nice 54-D quarter in MS67 is no easy task to be sure (and finding one close to MS68 quality exceedingly tough). My goal for the next year is to get a great percentage of my silver quarters pictured on Coinfacts as a very large percentage of my coins are not on line yet.

As another Washington collector trying to climb the ladder but in the Proofs I have to say a Congrats to you for spending the time and effort it takes to build such a set. I can see how you got hooked as I still have a few 40 or more rolls from mom and dads stash and love to open those rolls with amazement each time. I decided to do the proofs as its a short set and hopefully can complete in my lifetime. Enjoy tom

Tom: Thank you.

What year proofs are you working on?

Thanks David! If I do end up carrying the crown for the next year, I will try to do so with the poise and grace that you have for the past handful of years. You have an incredible collection!

"I hope Dpoole comes back and wins the title back, certainly one of the GOOD guys around here."

I agree with ... a very good guy with a great collection of coins.

I would love to see all of the top sets. If not in person at least posted in the registry with pictures of the coins.

I have always loved to look at David Poole's set and ManofCoins retired set along with quattrocoins Set.
