Why Am I So Happy Today?

Well, I'll give you a hint. A picture says a thousand words.



Finally!!! After all these months and without any help from @Beardigger, who offered to send me one. I don't do any CRH, so it wasn't as easy getting the final ATB quarter in change.

Free sodas for everybody!

Congrats. Sure is a good feeling finishing an album.

 

Thank you! Imagine if I were a serious collector and did the P, D, S, & W (for 2019 and 2020) set? I'll never finish! LOL.

 

I did a P/D/W set and that was enough. Couldn't do the S. Then you'd have the clad and silver proofs. Also the business strikes.
You'd never be done lol.

 

The silver proofs are so overpriced and rated you don't want to even try.

 

CONGRATS @JeffC . I'm happy see you got it finished on your own! Bet it feels good!

 

If I remember correctly, I think I saw an album from @Inspector43. He did the whole P, D, S sets. What patience!

 

Oh wait... I thought the P's and D's are the business strikes, no?

 

Yeah they are....but San Francisco did business strike "S" mint coins as well.

Example from CRH:

 

I have never found one of those before and proofs are very scarce in my area also.

 

Yes, I did an album of the P and D in circulation grade along with the S in proof. Then I did pages with the S mint circulation grade. I did them in Caps Album pages. It was a big job. Here is one of the pages. It shows the P and D circulation grade and the S in proof.

 

That reflects A LOT of patience and discipline.

 

Thanks Jeff. I salute your effort at putting the set together.

 

@JeffC Free sodas for everybody! Make mine Ice-tea

 

I know the feeling. My 1943-S Australia sixpence finally arrived from Down Under yesterday so now my collection is complete.

 

Nice, I've been doing the same thing with the states and ATB's from pocket change for the last 2 years. I'm still waiting for that last states quarter I need for the states. I'll find it!

 

Wow, that's 6 decades. Very impressive. 1963 was the final year? Is the 1943-S a key date?

 

Which one(s) are you missing? I just started to collect them in December 2017 For the longest time, I couldn't find Maine. Someone here had to give me one. Lol.

 

1953 is the key one I think.

 

I had to buy mine to fill my album. Congratulations on plugging all the holes.
