<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 24801559, member: 116145&quot;]I vote that the 2016-W does belong, now that I have finally acquired one!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p>I finally picked up a 2016-W Standing Liberty Quarter 100 Anniversary gold piece on a lowball(ish) auction bid!&nbsp; So now my top SLQ collection is 42 pieces, though a couple, like the 2016W are not considered part of an SLQ set by the numismatic authorities – so nobody call the coin police on me, please!!!&nbsp;&nbsp; I’m still working on moving some of the uncommon SLQs into straight AU / MS pieces – my 1916 (Fair 02, Details) and 1918/7-S overdate (VF Details) I don’t worry about (will likely never be able to afford those in AU or MS) but if the OT keeps up and I save my pennies, I hope to move the 1919-D (currently F12), 1919-S (VF20), 1921 (VF20, CAC Green Bean), 1923-S (VF30 Details) and 1927-S (VF20) into AU or even possibly MS coins.&nbsp; I’m not worried about the 1928-S varieties (FS-501 &amp; FS-502 in VF30) and only bitterness is holding me back on the 1920-D (AU55 Details – I bought it raw and didn’t spot the cleaning, why oh why didn’t I spot the cleaning?!?!?!).&nbsp; I&#039;m very proud of my SLQs - I started out with some dateless and common raw pieces, after I had a bunch I started an album, and so on, and so on, and here I am!</p><p><br /></p><p>Also note at the end the 1870 pattern Proof 64 silver quarter (Judd-918) I picked up on a (relatively) low ball bid from Heritage, those are neat, only a handful exist.&nbsp; So some fun remains to be had for me here.&nbsp; I’ve been more focused on my NGC Registry Type Set (I got sucked into this silly NGC thing, I have too many ANACS and ICG coins that I’m not likely to move to NGC to get too far I fear) and my Colonials which are coming along nicely (though I had a setback on a good fake Elephant token) – I finally got a 1652 Massachusetts Pine Tree 3 Pence (VF30 Details – plugged) and I also got lucky at Heritage Auctions on a low grade (straight G4) 1584 Raleigh Plantation Token.&nbsp; Here are some pics from my Lighthouse Album of the SLQ obverses.&nbsp; I hope everyone’s collections are doing well and wish you many happy deliveries in in the future!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1587023[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1587024[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1587025[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1587026[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1587027[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
