Just added this 1945-D MS65. It has nice luster and good overall eye appeal for a Denver issue 65. This acquisition also completes my Washington Quarter WWII Era Set on the CAC Registry, where I currently rank #4.

I really like that crescent of color! Maybe Ill get back into the series in the future! I just dont know if I have it in me to play with another registry set or set lower goals.

I started small. My first WQ was a very colorful MS67 example for my type set. I thought it was cool and picked up a few more “double-sided toners”, but had no intention of doing a full set. At some point five years ago I gave in and kept going.
You know how much effort it took to build your set the first time, so it probably seems like a lot to chew off again. But consider starting small first—maybe just one coin from each decade, or only coins in rattlers/OGH, or 36-42 proofs, etc.
My set will be “complete” soon, but I intend to continue doing selective upgrades when I see better looking toners in slightly higher grades. But I’ll never get to the MS67+ level and don’t feel any pressure to do so. It’s been a fun journey.
What is amazing to me is how the affection with the Washington Quarter has changed over the years. It used to be something people would ignore or even loathe but now it really is a beautiful thing to collect.

Just added this lustrous semi-key 1936-D to my set. MS64 and CAC-approved with wisps of color around the edges. Overall it presents better than most 64s—I have 66's and even 67's that have worse eye appeal. Set nearly complete!
@erwindoc Yes, I was lucky to find that one early on back in 2021. Tough issue to find with any color (even in the highest grades), much less wild color like this. It’s in a 65 holder. Still need 34-D and 40-D.
Update, grades are in! Not Bad for my first ever submission !! Coins I compiled over the past couple months. Although the two 1947's I was upset didn't get 67's. They looked like great candidates! Also was kinda shocked the 1934 HVY Motto didn't get atleast a 65 Clear fields and all virtually.
Thank you, I sent them both in for regrade. The 32-P upgraded from 65 to 65+ I was pretty happy. Glad it's now apart of my collection. Just need a good example 32-D to go with it!
Ok... Question I just found the exact same coin under the PCGS Page with a different Cert# but same grade. Does this mean it was regraded? If the grade never changed from my understanding the cert stays the same.
If you ask for a Regrade I believe they generate a new cert number, but if you ask for Reconsideration I believe they keep the cert number the same. It could also have been a crackout and, in that case, a new cert number would be generated.
After further research on my 1954 MS67+ Cac it seems multiple individuals attempted over the years to get it upgraded to 68. Wonder why it hasn't upgraded.
@Matt04 It's probably a technical 67 that was bumped to a plus grade for color & eye appeal. Look closely at the portrait for hits/abrasions on the cheek, eyebrow, hairline, etc. Just an educated guess.
Just added a '40-D, the second-to-last coin needed for completion of my set. I have the highest ranked incomplete set on the PCGS Registry (lol).
This one has some unique color and it's in a 66+ holder, although that's probably a (technically) generous grade. Still seeking a '34-D with color if anyone has any leads.
Hi guys. I won 4 silver quarter varieties tonight on GC - all at under $500/coin. Nothing terribly exciting; I had all of them already, but just in slightly lower grades. It looks like all (4) of the serial numbers are already in someone else’s registry set. Anyone know who was selling these couple dozen quarter varieties tonight so they can remove their coins from the registry for not only myself, but all the other collectors who likely won many more of the coins tonight. Thanks. Wondercoin

This 1953-S although only MS66 caught my eye on GC this past Sunday. Incredible Original Skin and Luster!!!
Coins of this original condition deserve to be enjoyed! Some hits seen in the photos are not as deep as depicted to the eye.
Received these three coins back from PCGS last Friday. The Trueview photos are very poor quality. In hand these three quarters are very attractive with the obverses of the two 1964 quarters being Exquisite.
@SanctionII those photos do leave a bit to be desired, as you noted. If you’d like, it’d be helpful if you shared them on the TrueView thread I started recently to monitor TV quality over time.
New guy to the Washington qtrs thread although I've been snooping for a few years. My 1st love is my beautiful Roosie dimes, Have a top 5 Registry set in 46 to 64 fb's. Been working on upgrading my ms64-65 Washingtons. About 60% ms66 with 90% in blast white. ( old school ) Can anybody give a quick lesson in posting pictures to this technology challenged geriatric guy ?
The easiest way to post images, in my opinion, is simply to drag and drop the image into the text box that you use to type out a reply.
I will write this as if you are on a computer and not a phone since I don't typically use my phone to be on the PCGS boards. If you have an image you would like to share then you can drag the image from your desktop, or from any open folder you have on your desktop, and drop it directly into the text box that you are typing in. When you drop the image into the text box there appears a green circle with a plus sign (+) in it. When you release the image into the text box you will see a blue progress bar move from left to right along the top of the text box. Once it's uploaded fully the progress bar will disappear and instead you will see code. That code is your image.
If you aren't certain the image uploaded you can hit the "Preview" button on the lower left of your text box to see what the post would look like. Below are two uploads I did for this post so I could describe to you what to do.
I have included a screenshot of the process below this bit of text-
I don't drag and drop on my computer. I hit the upper right box (attach image). Then I hit choose files box.
It takes me to my pictures and I choose file then click open. After clicking, a line appears on top of post growing from left to right. Once it gets to right, it becomes a CU file with associated link. Depending on your internet speed, could take a quite a few seconds.
as Tom mentions, hit preview to see if it works and then post to post comment with picture(s)

I think the toughest issue is the 37S. Do you have one in your set yet @PocketChange ?

These 4 from my Order will be the ones I will most likely keep for my set until I upgrade them.
Over the last year I have started collecting the proofs in addition to the mint states as I have always been fond of the quarter designs.

Decided to put in a cheaper higher-end raw AU for my Dansco instead of cracking out my ANACS MS62:
1932-S Washington Quarter AU Raw

A funky new addition to the set, a 1952-S MS67 CAC with a cool RPM that upgrades a non-CAC MS66.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Another upgrade for a 50's issue—66+ CAC from a non-CAC 66.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Added These Two Recently to the collection, although I already have another 1954 MS67+ CAC Quarter, Either keep both or sell one or the other.
I'd like it in a PCGS holder, think it has a shot?
@Matt04 both great coins, but that ‘54 has very cool color! Personally I’d keep the ‘57 in the old no-line fatty.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Sorry, yes I was keeping the '57 in the old fatty, I was referring to the 54 in regards to crossover
I like the second coin. The toning really pops.

GC purchase for the 1969 Year Set upgrade. Hard to believe its MS67
The late 60s and early 70s are tough dates to get in high grade, congrats!
