I've just spent the last two hours going through this thread and recorded each of the coins that I posted to keep it going. So, perhaps later today I will look through my images and see if there are other pieces that might want to join the thread. As an aside, it appears @CoinJunkie hasn't been on the site in over two years. I hope everything is okay and that this is simply a break from internet numismatics for CJ.
My latest newp fits in just fine here. Don’t care what the plastic haters say, I still prefer pristine OGHs (and NGC fattys!), but ONLY as long as the coin warrants the love.

This is my version of the same Judd ... right or wrong many years ago without much thinking I sent it to PCGS for a new holder only ( A Newer Secured type). I recall it had a cracked corner. I did not think about trying for an upgrade nor did I send it back to CAC for a new sticker when it came

It's been a long time since I posted a coin on this thread (since August 2020!) so I figure it might be time to add another.
Keeping with the spirit of the original request, I have an OGH here with a little story attached to it. In the early and mid 1990s we sold most everything raw at shows and specialized in WQs, Roosevelt dimes and Franklin halves. At that time most folks wanted blast white coins, but the few who wanted something nicely toned were still able to pick off some gorgeous pieces for what is now a trivial amount of money.
I had a large following for WQs back then and everyone wanted "the big five" of 1932-D, 1932-S, 1934-D, 1935-D and 1936-D. This piece wasn't purchased by me quite that early, but it was certified at that time and is the quality of stuff that I routinely sold raw from the multiple Dansco and Whitman deluxe albums that I brought with me.
This is the brother to @TomB 1932-D quarter in the same grade and generation holder. This was green stickered long after I bought it. i have owned it nearly 20 years or so.
Very similar to Tom’s coin!
His photo taking is better than mine!
Here's an 1806 DBQ. These DBQs are found so much less frequently than the larger denominations of DB half dollar and silver dollar. Obviously, a quarter was a lot of money 200+ years ago and these coins saw a lot of work in commerce. If I recall correctly, I had seen this coin pop-up briefly on the website of a well known dealer and it might have already been sold by the time I saw the listing. I was severely disappointed and kept my eyes open for the piece should it return. After all, every coin is eventually sold again, and some time later it reappeared and I was able to snag it before anyone else jumped. This all happened 15-20 years ago so it might have been before the advent of CAC, but now it has made the trip to NJ, as well.

You're not kidding about the similarities in these coins, @oreville. They definitely appear related. Nice coin!
Did these 1932-D quarters ever come in rolls back in the day? I do not recall ever seeing them in rolls back in the 1960's or 1970's . Yet these two quarters look like they were two peas from the same pea pod?
Time for another meet and greet. We have not met in years!
I once purchased a roll of 1932 WQs from a well known, extremely knowledgable and respected numismatist whom we both know very well. I received the roll from him in a decrepit, decaying bank-type roll and we both thought it was from the time of issue. I paid up for the roll and the coins were uniformly toned or oxidized throughout the body with the end pieces being a bit different and the reeded edges all being the most deeply colored. I sold that roll perhaps 20+ years ago and have never seen another.
So, perhaps the 1932 branch mint WQs might also have been available in original paper rolls, even if that quantity might have been extremely limited.

@TomB Not only do you post quality coins, your photos are always top notch!

Beautiful 👍
With a Gold CAC sticker.
@TomB that '32-D looks gold sticker worthy from here. Nice coin!

@Lakesammman didn't that 1872 IHC get regraded with a new holder? If I am wrong then I am thinking about another, similar coin.

Little planchet flaw at 5:30, but to me it adds to the charm….
Here is a rare "MS60". Apparently the only one in this thread and perhaps the only OGH MS60 left in existence ?
