<p>[QUOTE=&quot;National dealer, post: 5099, member: 487&quot;]Well as many of you know, the Washington design was originally meant to be a one year design to honor Washington&#039;s birth. Once the 1932 quarter reached circulation, the public had a field day. The quarters were snatched up by the handful. </p><p>In 1933 the decision was finally made to continue with the Washington design. Although the next date in the series is 1934. </p><p>Record numbers of collectors bought and filled albums with this new design.</p><p>As with all of our modern coinage, this design out lived its run. The series took a deep decline until the US took the silver content out of our circulating coinage.</p><p>Now the series as a whole has seen a tremendous increase as the new collectors brought in by the state quarter program have graduated into more traditional series.</p><p>I for one hope that collectors will stand against Virginia in their bid to keep Washington on the quarter. We need to continue changing designs. This is good for the hobby as a whole.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
