I hope to inherit one of these completed sets one day. My grandfather was actually the one who got me interested in collecting coins. I'm amazed by how much cool stuff he has and he's always saving stuff that he finds in change for me. He's not into darkside coins and gave me all the ones that people have brought back from trips for him. My dad's not really into coin collecting but has several things that my grandpa has given him.
Oh and a little more background on this. It's framed and came with a deck of cards that had information about each state. There was a holder on the frame that the cards fit into. I'm not sure if my grandpa made the frame or if it was sold that way. My grandpa taught history and this frame was bolted to his classroom wall for a very long time.

Nice one really - thanks for sharing the photos. People like your grandpa just makes coin collecting more educational and I'm glad there are awesome people like him that shares the passion with you. These days, it's becoming quite uncommon.

the set came with wooden glass frame and each states stamp above each coin board reads united states legacy collection it compliments the 50 State Quarters the 50 State Quarters arent complete without them in my opinion its a different denomination |

The good part is that that is a fantastic set and really nice looking appearance. The bad part is if our USMint sees this post they might start a new series of Cents for each state like the Quarters.

rthrene, that set reminds me of a set I made when I was collecting world coins, by the cup, bucket, or by the oiece. I had just seen the movie, "Arond the world in 80 days", with Mario Moreno, "Cantinflas", one of the best comediians I hace ever seen. It gave me an idea, and as I had a lot of second hand items that I was selling, I decided to find a large picture frame,, and put a small map of the world in it. Then I placed 80 coins on,or in the corresponding places, and named it, "Around the world in 80 Coins". Each place had a small card with some info pertaining to the country, and its fame, or people. One of the members of the club bought it from me, and later moved to Turkey. I think he still lives in Constantinople.
