I really was feeling pretty good about getting close to finishing my Washington quarters collection. I had thought I was down to only needing three more quarters.
Well, I was wrong.
It all started this morning when I was proudly showing my son the collection and noting that I only need three more S mintages. He asked about pricing so I pulled out my most recent issue of Coin Values and started going down the list. Since I have all sorts of coins in this collection, I had to do a quick check to see what they may be evaluated as. I pulled out my trusty loupe and started grading.
As I looked at my 1937-S, I noticed something really weird. Instead of an -S mint mark, it had a -D. Naturally, I assumed I put them in the wrong place but when I looked at my -D, I found it was, in fact, a Denver mint mark. Dang. Two 1937-D's and no 1937-S.
Now I was concerned so I looked at every single one of them. I also found that my Philadelphia 1952 was actually a Denver 1952-D.
Bummer. Now I need two more Washington Quarters. Oh, well. I guess I will just carry on.
