I did not collect the entire series, but I have a few.

I collect them. I hope you get a good set! I have 2 sets going. I got interested in them when my university would give them out as change for parking. My favorites are the Sacagaweas... The proofs are amazingly beautiful...

No date and no mint mark on obverse then I'm not collecting. Plain and simple. |

I started to when they first came out, but two or three years into it I lost interest in the series.

 EAS! I have all the mint sets and proof sets OGP but also ordered a CAPS date album for a separate set of just the proof coins. It looks nice. As always great photos and nice collection GR58!  |

Nice. Cool error. It would feel like hitting the lottery if a fellow had a roll full of those Washington coins with missing edge letters. I found ROLLS of the Washington edge errors. Sold them at the local shop for $50 each. Last month he had a graded one in 67 or 68 for $20. Glad I sold them when I did. |

I have the dollars that came in the regular uncirculated and proof sets as well as the presidential uncirculated and presidential proof sets. I'm working up the courage to break the dollars out of these sets to place them in an album.

I agree with Tryna, the error were to high when they first were out.
I think when you can find them now at a low price collectors should consider
getting some.

Yes, that's how it starts, occasionally breaking out a mint set coin or freeing a proof from it's capsule to fill an album hole. Been there, done that. Next you'll be cracking open certified slabs.  |

I have the entire series via mint, proof, and uncirculated sets, and I am attempting to put together a "from circulation" collection in a Whitman Classic, which is difficult due to the Prez dollars turning NIFC midway through the series run. Every once in a while I get a batch from the bank that has a couple NICFs that must have come from a bag or someone's broken-up mint sets.

Since I cannot see the mint mark on the edge when the coin is in the album, I decided to do proofs only. I usually buy proof sets, but not mint sets, so that helped the decision.

GR58, who made that album you had in your first picture? I liked that one a lot.

I'll answer for him, that's a Dansco. They have a page with info on each president in between the coin pages.

Batboy is correct .pictured is a Dansco album.
The one pictured is for P and D mints. I have a Prsidential date set
album that I put the proof coins in.
I really l e the Dansco albums with information pages, their ATB/Parks quarter
have similar pages.

I have never been brave enough to use a Dansco. Although they are an attractive way to display your coins. I'm just a 2x2 kinda guy...
