I have the state quarters album, but that is actually the one i have put the least effort towards. (All of my albums include proofs). I have searched 10 rolls of pennies, 10 nickels, 10 dimes, 10 halves, and 0 quarters.
Roosevelt Dimes Roosevelt dimes was the first album I ever completed, but that was a long time ago. Not current now.
I know it is surprising but I have NEVER completed an album. (I've never owned an album ) Only whitman folders... Anyway, I started pennies, never finished, don't know if I ever will. If I do complete a series it will be graded, and it could be my Jefferson Nickel War-Time set, it could be my French Sower set, I don't know yet, but I'm going to enjoy collecting no matter what! Edit: I've technically finished one State Quarter album, but only for Denver, so I'm not considering it complete.
How do albums stop being complete? They can't go back in time and add coins. And coins that are just released are not exactly hard to find.
I first completed my state quarters, and im disappointed because i thought that the US mint would stop with state quarters and retain back to the regulaur design, then they come out with terretories and national parks. Now my album is in the cornor of the room.
Roosevelt Dimes I just quit collecting for a while and have not added the most recent additions to the collection. That is how it came to be "not complete" any more. You are right - it is still complete up through when I stopped.
