Missing Clad Layer Statehood Quarter Collection Idea

Has anyone thought of, or is, putting together a collection of statehood quarters all missing the reverse clad layer?
I think this could be a pretty interesting collection. What do you think?

I'm sure there are multuple people trying to put this set together. It is absolutely possible to do.
I think a set like that would look fantastic, especially if they're all housed together in something like a Capital Holder.
Are they that common?? I have not seen any SHQ's in circulation without the clad layer....Cheers, RickO
They are reasonably common on the bay. You may not be able to put together a collection immediately but some patience and fun could pay off in a complete collection.
that is a great idea,
It is not for me , but should keep some in game
There were probably about a dozen serious
collectors who started such sets in 1999.
Some only collected Reverse Clad Layer Missing
State Quarters, (& one Obv. for show), but some
also wanted one each Obv. & Rev. Missing for
all States.....
Most of those semi-complete, or the very few
complete sets have been sold over the past
6-8 years or so - but one or two are still intact,
as far as I know.
Prices are down anywhere from 35%-50% for most,
except the rarest Rev. States, and supply is ample,
so it might be a good time to do a set at current levels.

I thought about a set like that and I have probably around 10 states, mostly missing the obverse tho.
A set that I think would be cool and little more interesting would be to get a MAJOR mint error from each of the 50 states (all different types of errors)
I think collecting the reverse is nice because the designs are different.
I think an error per state would be interesting as well, but I'd probably prefer to have similar errors. What do you consider a major mint error?
Thanks for the information Fred. I had no idea they were that common. I have never seen one in commerce... I do recall a picture, I think on this forum, of one.....Seems like it would be quite a project. Cheers, RickO
I have never seen one.
that would be an awesome set to put together if possible. i havent given that much thought until now
I have a collecting buddy who was working on a set like this a while back, not sure how far he got on it.
I agree with what Fred Weinberg said, and also it is a good time to build a collection since price on them are down.
Some of the states are super rare, being nearly unique, but all are obtainable if you have a lot of patience. Probably half of them are easy, 1/4 are scarce, with the remaining 1/4 being either very difficult to nearly impossible to find.
Sounds like a fun set to put together.
