Thanks all. I will keep messing around with pictures and hopefully have something decent to share.
It is cool to have finished a set of such awesome coins. From the first time I saw a Franklin half, I have loved it. I am actually kind of sad to be done. I had alot of fun collecting these coins, especially visiting coin shows with my dad.

I have a complete set of BU P and D State Quarters I have been collecting since I was in high school in 1999, but this is different for obvious reasons.

Hopefully the proof coin hunting will be as rewarding and fun.

You can also pull the pages from the album and scan them, as opposed to taking pics.
Scanner works better for me anyway... I am photography-challenged.

Congratulations indeed on the milestone.

Hoping that you figure out the photo challenge issues and are able to post some photos.

Did the last photo I posted not come through, or is it just awful? Ha

Very nice, looks like a group of high grade coins.
I love the franklins. The set has nice weight to it also, which is always fun.

Congrats. After finding 5 Franklin halves roll searching in the last 3 weeks I might have to pick up a Dansco album for those as well and try my luck. Most appear extremely affordable but there seem to be a ton a varieties with type 1 and 2 reverses etc.

Congratulations HONDO! It's a nice feeling to complete a set.




I've just begun the Franklin set and hope to have it complete in a couple years.
