If so have you found the albums to hold them?

It took some Internet research, but I found some excellent albums of very good quality, and matching slip covers are available.

I initially purchased 3 albums with 20 sheets, but the FDC's are too thick because of the quarters. I will order a fourth.

If anyone is interested post here and I'll add the link.

It's actually a nice hobby. But I'll wait until the Franklin Mint frames the entire set - better, yet, mint a limited edition set in Sterling Silver....

I have a sterling silver set from Canada from a few years ago.

I started collecting them. Then I got to thinking. Idiot, you should be collecting the quarters they ain't making anymore. hahaha but I still collect the states. I have 7 books going right now. One for each grandkid. Also have spares case any of the kids get frisky again. I can still put together a few more books. haha

I did.. but the wife spent them on cigarette's one day. Made me mad.. so I bought the collection online from one of those shop on TV places. And now they are in my lil safe.. she knows not to touch these. heh heh.

I just wandered back and I still don't think you all know what I mean. Here.



This is the First Day Cover with the quarters inserted in them. I don't collect the quarters themselves.

Hello Everyone,
I have also been collecting the States Quarters since 1999 the year came out and the year my Daughter was born . This is the first time that I have collected anything. I thought that it would be an great gift to give to my Daughter once the set was completed . I decided since I was starting a coin collection that I mind as well collect a set for myself (it's been a fun journey) but, along the way I have missed afew of the States . Washinton (2), Utah (1), Hawaii (2), and Alaska (2). I was told by someone that I could get the missing coins from the bank at $1.00 for each coin . I have not checked with any banks...I quess I did'nt want to pay the interest . Can someone please tell my where can I get the States I am missing ?

Wow Hawaii and Alaska are really common here.

I'm missing Delaware and a couple in the middle (sorry cant thinkk what ones)

I haven't seen a Hawaii quarter yet (or the newer D.C. quarter, which is really cool). I have all of the 'Silver Eagles' $1 silver bullion coins, from when they started in 1986.

Funny-we actually got two of the DC quarters yesterday here in New Hampshire. We were in the very southern part of the state about an hour and a half from home and that is where we found them.

I find that a lot-when we are away from home is when we find most of the new quarters.

My husband got the DC one when he was snowboarding the other week in Pa. The women had 3 rolls of them that she had just opened!
