[QUOTE="Skyman, post: 3585665, member: 28299"]Not the entire set. I am not, per se, collecting the proofs, although I do have several. FWIW, I first started collecting slabbed Washingtons. My original collecting goal was toned business strike Washingtons just from the years 1940 - 1964, as, for the most part, the pricey Washington quarters were from 1932 - 1939. I predominantly collected the MS66 grade, although I've got some MS65 and MS67's too. Once I completed that goal I decided as a relatively inexpensive goal to complete a raw 1940 - 1964 album. As is common with coin collectors, once I got started it was hard to stop, as I found nicer ones to upgrade to. That ended up with me creating A, B and C Dansco (e.g. raw) 1940 - 1964 Washington toner sets. That actually was a fine balance, as there was a logical stopping point to hit with the raw Washingtons once they started getting up near the cost and look of the slabbed coins. Over time I also expanded the years that I was willing to collect, but JUST for the A toner Dansco set. For the A toner Dansco, I have the complete run from 1932 - 1964 in an album, and am working on 1965 - 1985 (1985 is the last page in the Dansco album where the coins don't look like tokens IMO).
