<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2643939, member: 71723&quot;]Washington Quarters had a mini-bubble in the early years of this century when the State Quarters series caused collectors to take a look at the whole series. That bubble hasn&#039;t so much burst as sprung a leak. These dates are not so rare in this condition. As mint state coins, they might have been serious pieces. That 1940 (with apparently the D mint mark) is one of the better pieces of this lot. I am quite proud of the 1940-D piece I acquired in high mint state condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am just a few coins short of finishing the set, but all mine are mint state or will be once I replace those lesser ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>This set seems to be a &quot;One a Year&quot; set, which can be okay, but the true test is finding the earlier D and some S mint examples in pristine condition. It seems every year had a common one, usually the unmintmarked ones from Philadelphia.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, when I say I have it almost complete, I don&#039;t stop at 1964. Complete means complete, to date, all proofs included, all mint-issued alloys. All in higher grades like MS/PF 65 and up. No aftermarket plating or washes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
