<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kanderus, post: 1417402, member: 28447&quot;]I hope I can sneak in under the dead line, as it is Saturday, the 14th but it is still rather early.</p><p><br /></p><p>My dream coin is a 1932-D Washington Quarter Dollar. The coin is the most sought after Washington quarter and also the most key date.&nbsp; Yes, I do own one...but it is in VERY low grade. We are talking Fair 2 at best.&nbsp; I would LOVE to own a 32-D in VG - EF...and if I ever owned one in better than that (say, MS for instance.) I would probably die of a heart attack.</p><p><br /></p><p>My first set I am aiming on putting together (aside from a 20th century type set.) is a complete 1932 - 1964 Washington Quarter Dollar set. I still need to get the 1932-S, 1936-D, and 1937-S but I am plugging away at that goal. I just have a fondness for Washington quarters, as they represent my youth. Back when I was a kid you could get some decent stuff for a few quarters. A soda, a couple plays at the arcade, and maybe even catch an early matinee.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;When I started really getting into coin collecting, I researched out the Washington quarter and I was just so amazed by all the little details that I had never even have thought about a few years back. That is not to say that I do not enjoy Liberty Head and Standing Liberty quarters, because I do, but the Washington quarter is the coin that I most remember from when I was a kid. Now suddenly the coin has a deep history. First minted in 1932, was made of silver (one of the things that got me into numismatics is the precious metals.), less than half a million made of both the 1932-D and 1932-S. Coin was minted to commemorate George Washington&#039;s birth. Back in 1996 I would have NEVER have guessed ANY of these things about one of my precious quarters. Only that the quarter was a gateway to fun, and I needed to collect as many as I could.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my current 1932-D</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]172289.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]172290.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
