Just thought I'd share with you all a few new additions to my proof Washington quarter set:

Beautiful proofs!

Nice looking coins... that '58 is is a good one for the year as it is much tougher to find a cameo '58 Washie than the other 2 years.

MoneyLA · September 26, 2007 6:42PM

grades? I hope they were all DCAM but from the photos Im going to guess "not."

please post grades.

thanks. Alan Mendelson

I expected to be bored to death by this thread (my usual response to Washingtons), but I gotta say, those are stunning.

Brrr, frosty, indeed!

Nice coins! I like the '58 - as Skyman mentioned, it is a tough one for decent cameo.

I would also like to know the grades.....

MFH · September 27, 2007 12:11AM

Thanks for the kind compliments,
the 1958 is 67CAM
as is the 1960

the 1961 is a 69CAM

Just won a few more proof Washingtons on Russ's Ebay auctions:

Great pictures!

I love the 58, all very frosty.

seateddime · October 7, 2007 12:55PM

very frosty coins

jmski52 · October 7, 2007 9:52PM

You make a great case for Russ's ebay auctions. Very nice!

Great looking coins. I like the cameos.

nice! I'm working on a set myself... those are great examples.

I just tried to add another new purchase - a 1952 Proof 67 "Superbird" in PCGS PR 67,
but it won't take in any set registered. I just emailed PCGS Customer
Service to find out why. Is it because its a variety and not a "normal" type ?

The image is too large to post here at the moment and I have to have it resized.
Its a stunning coin and would have made Cameo on any day accross the street.

Edited to add:

Heard from Cust Service, the coin wasn't in their data base yet when I tried to enter it;
it is now. I'll have it resized one of these days and add it to this thread.

Last week, I finally got the last three proof Washington quarters I needed to complete my 1950 - 1964
series. With the help of Russ of Compucheap eBay auctions I now have a very presentable collection.

I've already posted the 1953, 55, 56,58, 59, 60 and 61.

Here's the balance: 1950 - from Laura Sperber:
Its a PCGS PR 67 - and we both thought this was a Cameo:

Next is a 1951 which I secured from Russ; its also a PCGS 67 - no cameo - but looks close:

Here's the 1952 Superbird I mentioned earlier [ Thanks to Dave99B for resizing it ]
although its not deemed Cameo, sure is close, IMHO, its in a PCGS 67 holder:

Here's the 1954 - also in PCGS 67 - no Cameo - but looks very nice in hand:

Another proof from Russ, the 1957 in PCGS PR 68 CAM:

...Russ, ya gotta do something about that dandruff !!

This 1962 in PCGS Proof 69 CAM is from a recent auction on Teletrade:

This 1963 is in PCGS PR 67 CAM - from DLRC on a recent auction:

Last but not least, the 1964 in PCGS PR 68 DCAM, another Russ purchase:

Again, a special thanks for all the hard work on resizing all of these images goes to Dave99B !!

Well, folks, that just about sums it up...I won't bother adding the balance of the collection
from 1965 - 1998...as I'm still looking for the three SMS in CAM...and its just too time consuming
to add everything.

Hope you enjoyed these images. Nice set - not a POP TOP # 1 Registry Set of All Time, but a pleasure
none the less to assemble.

Pretty amazing assemblage.... I am not a Washington collector, but can sure appreciate those... very nice. Cheers, RickO

Over the last couple of weeks I've been picking up a few missing dates for the collection.
Most of the images are too large to post and I need to have them resized but here's one
that I picked up from Heritage:

MFH · December 17, 2007 9:06PM

One of the last dates I needed for the 1936 - 1998 Proof quarter series.
I found this on eBay last night - and after what I saw the Michael Flannagan
coin sell for, I snapped this one up:
