Took me almost 40 years to complete. Eventually I'll replace the Barber quarter and half, and the Liberty nickel. I found this way back in the 70's in a hobby shop in the mall in Hanover, PA. I was probably a sophomore in high school.

Nice!
Well, the reason it took so long was I joined the Navy and it was at my parents' house for 15 or so years. I had kind of forgotten about it. After I found it again, I would buy a coin here and there, leave it for a while, come back to it, then forget about it again. During the process, I replaced coins here and there with better ones as well.
A note of interest, that 1925 Peace dollar I found in a coin shop in Sydney, Australia in 2001 when I was on deployment.
