How many serious coin collectors here are..........

...........also filling an album with state quarters out of pocket change. I've got two albums going and I'm doing it just for the fun of it.

I used a Dansco, so they are turning brown.
P mint coins are super hard to find on the west coast- I only have about six. I was roll collecting too, but they got stolen.
Why are you collection two albums, btw ?
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.
all were from mint sets till they went to satin finish. 2005 on were from rolls.
edited to add: i got the Hawaii quarters in the mail today. my sets are complete

I take nothing seriously,
and I am serious!
I am also pulling choice examples of the ones that are yellowing in the album from circulation when I find them. Eventually I'll have a complete set that way, and maybe I'll sell the toned set in 30 years to a toning collector
The only early one to regularly see in good condition is Conneticut.
Definitely fun, and a lot less expensive than my other collecting habits !!

now I'm filling folders and have only four to go. It's a nice attractive
set with most of them MS-63 to MS-65 though most are toward the
low end of this range. There are a very few which are only MS-60-
MS-62.
I've also managed to set aside 15 rolls of very choice and gem coins
from a couple selected states which I suspect might be overlooked.
Finding P mint coins in Colorado or California has never been an easy nor rewarding task as 99% of the P mint coins were carried here stuck to a car tire or have been kicked all the way across country.

I have been filling a few albums from pocket change: US Mint Map; Two Whitman Coin Folder Sets; and a Littleton date set album.
I also am having trouble finding D minted coins.

Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !

The only thing I have not found a D mint anywhere of yet is a Nickel. I noticed in Ohio there was a much higher percentage of D mint quarters then here in the Hudson Valley. And it seemed to be throughout the state quarter program and even before.
Even the two wheat cents I found while I was there last month are D mint.
I actually have 2 people that I know that are sending me each quarter as they find them as they also collect state quarters and heard that I was also. I don't have the heart to tell them there is no need to do so as it makes them happy to think that they are helping me.

A serious collecter is measured by the level of passion for collecting, and has nothing to do with grade or money spent. A person could collect only statehood quarters from circulation and still be a serious collector.

I do collect Jefferson Nickels out of rolls and change however.
The quarters just never seemed to interest me. I was getting the silver proof sets from the mint and stopped when I got bored with the designs somewhere around 2004-05.

<< <i>How many serious coin collectors can even name the 50 states? (It's 50, right?) >>
i think most of us could if we were allowed to write them down so we
do not repeat any and confuse ourselves.
i find naming the capitals to be much much harder for each state!
