I like washington quarters because it is an affordable area to collect. I am considering adding more to my collection. Post some pictures to help motivate me.

That's a beautiful WQ! This has long been one of my two favorite series with the other being Reeded Edge half dollars (I know, an odd combination). There is a thread on the Registry forum that is many pages long where folks are sharing images of WQs, as well. You should check it out.
Regardless, here is something to add to this thread-

They are very affordable and fun to collect. Enjoy your journey.

I have been thinking about doing this series as well, but in an album. Here is the only slabbed quarter I have from the silver years:
One of my favorite series.
I'm working on an MS slabbed set and a circulated album set.

Hi Peace_Dollar88 - I would strongly suggest avoiding this genre of numismatic collecting. While Washington Quarters can be pleasing to the proverbial eye, they can also be extremely tarnished. Due to the high adaptability of the alloy hue, these coins can be faked quite often, thus resulting in numismatic fraud.
Something special about that satin-like luster on this series... This one I bought raw simply because it's a knockout.

Very true, the 30's dates can be somewhat spendy but the rest of the series is quite affordable.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
While I believe that the coins in this thread are naturally toned, I do agree that Washington Quarters are highly prone to artificial toning due to their composition and general availability.
Wow. Some very nice coins in this thread. Congrats.

Well if you're on a budget then this a great series to collect. Most of them are readily available and reasonably price if you collect under an MS-67. i like the 66+ grades as I think they have the best value. Here are a few of my favorite 66+'s

Nice Quarters.
Commems and Early Type
Be aware of some of the outstanding major doubled dies that can be found in this series. This is a well known example but there are others less well known to look for.
Lovely quarters posted! One of my favorite series!
I collect Washington toners with minimal regard to date, mintmark, or even grade. This one is my favorite reverse, by far. Edit: It's a 1958 PCGS 66
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
I don’t collect these but bought this quite some time ago for the look and the luster. Nice coins folks.
I have not collected the Washington quarters at all... and I have no idea why not... I have some limited collections of most other moderns...Mercs, Franklins, Kennedy's, Cents.....But no quarters or Jeffersons...After seeing this thread, I may have to get a few nice Washingtons...(no tarnish
)...Cheers, RickO
I don't really collect the series but I do have a few that I've had for years and had forgotten about them until I saw this thread. I don't even know what these things are worth anymore and I'm to lazy to look them up.
Some very old pics ...
Very fun series to put together slabbed or in a album!!
Here's a couple with nice color-

A Barber Quartet is made up of Nickels, Dimes, Quarters, and Halves.
Same here. I have cherried three of the PR DDO-001, tho.
This might be the first slabbed coin I ever purchased. If not the first, it’s one of the original 3. Also the only one I have access to a picture of right now (obv only)
I'll add my name to this impressive duo, looking looking looking and still not finding.
Very frustrating for a variety nut may I add.
But I like the sleepers in this series. Some tough to find nice and lustrous.
I would say struck through grease.
My 1959 is one tick away from cameo perfection
Toning is cool. I am more into bright white coins. For a 66 this one pops with luster.
Snaps: That 54S is really nice!
