<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 24691970, member: 5233&quot;]My favorite &quot;modern coin&quot; is the original Washington Quarter (1932-98).&nbsp; I don&#039;t know why this design is so appealing to me...but it always has been.&nbsp; As a child, I loved the Bicentennial design with the drummer on the reverse...so maybe it stems from that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some time ago, I started to become interested in the various obverse and reverse die varieties of the Washington Quarter.&nbsp; I have set myself a goal of assembling a AU/MS complete date/MM set including all the ODVs and RDVs.&nbsp; Over the last several years, I have picked up a handful of coins for this project but I have decided to make it one of my main focuses for now.&nbsp; The goal for this set is to be a nice eye appeal raw set (slabbed exceptions being 32-D, 32-S and 36-42 proofs).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have begun to photograph this collection and I thought it would be fun to share it here.&nbsp; I will photograph when I currently have and then any new coin purchases and share them in this thread.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are the first three that I photographed yesterday.&nbsp; The 47-S is not quite to my grade standard for this set...but I like the green/brown toning and it is the only coin from my childhood collection that was of decent enough grade.&nbsp; So, I will include it as a </p><p>space filler and possibly upgrade in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>1951 is one of only a few years with multiple die varieties on the obverse.&nbsp; This coin exists with both the ODV-005 and ODV-006 type.&nbsp; The simplest diagnostic for this is looking that the &quot;R&quot; in the motto.&nbsp; On the 005, the &quot;hole&quot; in the &quot;R&quot; is more rectangular while on the 006 the &quot;hole&quot; is almost perfectly round.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/zuz5fIy.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/UlelXUi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/1CfRNay.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
