Hi All, I'd like to get a complete set of P & D mint mark state quarters (and also the territorial quarters). Any opinion on the best display holder? This one sounded good to me, since it sounds like it will protect the quarters better and I can see both sides of the quarter. http://www.danscoalbumstore.com/statehood-quarters-19992008-dansco-album-7143-p-2027.html
Thanks for the feedback. I'll probably go Dansco. This seems like a reasonable price for the quarters themselves. http://www.mintproducts.com/state-quarter-set-complete-with-100-coins.html
Well, it's 2.6x face value, so you can't exactly go wrong there. IMO it would be more fun to collect them one by one yourself, though. That way you can make sure you get choice pieces rather than just any old BU quarters. Or, is this some type of gift for someone?
The Dansco is the best option as albums go, but be sure to be careful when inserting the plastic slide for each row of coins. The edge of the slide is sharp enough that it can scratch a coin. The best thing to do to avoid this, is to press the coin all the way to the bottom of the slot so that it touches the slide covering the reverse. This leaves room so the obverse slide won't touch the coins as you put it in position. Once it is in, you can adjust the position of the coin by gently pressing on the reverse slide. Chris
Yea, I thought about that too. I don't use cash that much but I guess I could buy quarter rolls from the bank and try to get them that way.
wait. I did this for the state quarters. they toned up dark in my dansco album. not that great in my opinion.
It is difficult to find state quarters in uncirculated condition roll hunting. 7-17 years of circulation have beaten these quarters up pretty good. Occasionally you will find the uncirculated coin, but, they are few and far between. If you are wanting a nice state quarter collection you might want to look into buying mint sets. They are relatively inexpensive, plus you will get other coins along with the state quarters. If you do decide to roll hunt I would choose a folder over an album.
Hmm, what's the difference of a folder vs an album? Do you have a particular folder you'd recommend? Thanks. Otherwise, yes, I was thinking I may get silver proof sets for those years. Would be cool. But I thought it'd also be nice to have good uncirculated coins as well of Philadelphia and Denver. And I also like the idea of getting the alternate Daniel Carr state quarters as well.
Folders for one are much cheaper. Albums contain pages to hold the coins where as a folder is a one piece cardboard that has holes to push the coins into. The folders usually come in trifold configurations. I think Littleton has the best folders available. Whitman has several different brand folders and in several different configurations. If you google the Whitman site I believe they also carry U.S. Mint folders. I like the mint folders also.
I used a 8" x 14" Capital Plastics holder in White for a set of Silver Proof states quarters. Never got around to photographing it.
I am putting together a silver set of ATB,s in the U.S. Map Whitman coin board for my daughter. I wonder how the obverse will tone over the years. But I generally go with CAPS albums.
