Tiny light at the end of the tunnel for Washington Quarters?

I was just looking at the PCGS price guide for 1932 - 1964 Washingtons and noticed lots of green numbers with up arrows.
Most notably in the 63 to 65 grades.
Probably of little concern for high end Registry sets but I found it interesting none the less.
Are there any other series that have been left for dead, that may be showing a pulse?

It's a Great set to be working on, and I'm also having a LOT of fun buying them raw for my Dansco for not much money.
U.S. Type Set

Don't forget the dozen or so absolute knockout doubled dies in the series (if you're into that sort of thing) too.

<< <i>Near-gem and gem silver WQs are a great set to work on, in my opinion. They offer loads of "easy" coins that allow one to feel like they are making progress along with a slew of slightly more difficult dates followed by a handful of bears. They are also large enough that most folks like them, they can com naturally blast white or toned and some of them have luster that is amazing. This is also a set that can be assembled raw with relatively little downside and they display wonderfully in albums or Capital Plastics holders. >>
Most of the clads in Gem and near gem are pretty easy but if you want
nice strikes from good dies and without chicken scratching there are five
stoppers. Most of the rest can even be found raw without undue effort.
Washingtons should have a bright future as rthey come to be more widely
collected from all eras and by all budgets.

I tend to believe that low selling prices on eBay have little is any affect on the Price Guide which for some coins, is seriously over bloated.

<< <i>It should be noted that they have a natural Segway from casual collectors who start out by pulling state quarters. >>
This should provide a steady supply of new collectors for silver Washingtons
for decades. While none of the silvers is especially rare there are numerous
dates that are tough in Gem and near gem. Even those that are considered
pretty "common" in chBU like the '39-D wouldn't be so common if demand were
much higher.
I expect to see the demand for these continue higher for decades and there
won't be large numbers of these in the collections being liquidated in the next
20 years. Pressure will build slowly but it will be inexorable and long term.
This is why I have never really cared for them.
