Hard to capture it in photos, but for some reason I am just absolutely lured in by BU / GEM blast white Silver Washington Quarters, like a moth to a flame.

[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 3760266, member: 36248"]I am working on something similar, but not nearly as ambitious as yours. I consider this just my side-coin collection, as my primary focus (and most of all the money) goes to my Type-set. Hard to capture it in photos, but for some reason I am just absolutely lured in by BU / GEM blast white Silver Washington Quarters, like a moth to a flame. I only am trying to build 1932-1964 as I personally can't stand Clad Washingtons, to each their own. Some years are so easy, you can get an MS65 coin for under $15, other years are HARD and or/ more money than I care to spend. I just went to a coin show this past weekend, and since its a small show in Maine, there really aren't a ton of TPG / CAC coins in Types that I need, but I knew full well my side-collection could pick up some simple BU Washingtons. I bought 5 from the same dealer I always use at the coin shows. I tend to only pickup a few a year, if even that. Just a very casual collection. I dont have a pic of the new coins, but I use this collection to sort of satisfy my need for pretty shiny things while I wait and wait and wait to see if I can ever add a new coin to my Type set.
