<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 4786306, member: 77413&quot;]One of the more puzzling spots in the Intercept Shield type set album is the one marked for the quarter marked &quot;Washington 2009 Clad&quot;. Supposedly the Washington quarter series ended in 1998 and the State / Territorial quarters ran from 1999 to 2009. But they already had a slot for a state quarter on the last page, so they ... I dunno ... I can&#039;t figure out their rationale for this slot.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nonetheless, it&#039;s easy to find these on eBay for well under $10. I was careful not to accidentally get a silver proof, since a clad was called for.</p><p><br /></p><p>My solution was this nice District of Columbia with satin finish, still in its mint set packaging. I admire Duke Ellington as a musical genius who embodied the spirit of jazz and swing. (Give his <i>Jazz at Newport</i> album a listen.) He managed to pursue his art and field a big band during times where racism was ingrained and institutionalized. Quite an inspiration.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1163614[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1163616[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1163617[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I will have another quarter, a bit less common, in the next post.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
