Never had a basement, but if you start digging around here, won't be long before you hit water

nickelsearcher,
Take all your time you need. I'll be in Pittsburgh, Pa next week to see my dad (94) until the end of the month.
Regarding my list, I would not expect all, although I won't say no. Anything you can get I highly appreciated.
Afcop13, if you have basement there, you can farm fish or crocodile. be glad you don't.

holy mackerel, nickel; thems that's errr.........ahhmm.........hamminna hammina (Ralph Kramden) that's a lot of coins!  have you considered buying a coin microscope? there are varying opinions about having/using/the need for one; BUT ! lemme tell you: it's a whole new beautiful world ! happy searching. If you come across any LWC 1909 DVDBs, I could use one.  basements: shall I tell you horror stories of ruined coins and artwork stored in basements for too long? Edited by j_h_s

I pushed hard last night to work on the search phase of this project ....... Now about 50% of the way through the jar ..... Lots of MS State Quarters ..... one minor MAD which I posted for comment in the error section. https://goccf.com/t/65434Three more gorgeous MS Zinc Lincolns ..... My pile of State Quarters is growing ...... I'm starting to feel the hope that there is a complete 50 coin set in there.  Home from work and back to the jar! David |

Wow .... spent a good part of my morning today to finish the searching of the jar ..... now it's time to sort my State Quarters. I ended up with 169 MS and eye-appealing State Quarters ..... and most likely threw as many back into the jar for reasons of visual distraction. Best quarter find was a 2005-S clad proof California ...... wonder how that got past me the first time and into the jar?  Anyways ..... here we are ....  There are my 169 MS State Quarters and my waiting Littelton folder ...... now I need to sort them into year/coin and choose the best. But that's for later ..... now it's time to mow the lawn before I lose the dog in the high grass.  David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Arrrgh ..... sorting by date is now complete and I came up short one (1) Quarter ...... missing the 2004 Wisconsin.   No worries I say ... still a lot of fun ahead of me to pick the best of the rest and place them in my album. Suppose I need to buy/trade that Wisconsin .... maybe somebody out there needs one of my Philly Mint MS coins as trade? Anyways ..... next step is to pull out the 10x lighted magnifier and select the coin to keep from each year. Thanks for reading along with my Change Jar adventure! David |

Hey Nickelsearcher, you came out with a lot more State Quarters than you thought. I know it the beginning you thought you would have more to work with trying to complete that coin album. I see your short a Wisconsin D mint, I checked my inventory of duplicates and I'm sorry to say that is one I don't have. Sorry I can't help you out . Is this your first State Quarter set you are putting together? Me I have been trying to completing mine for quite some time. |

It sounds like a lot of fun.
I've been doiing this for years now and it gets harder and harder all the time to find new coins and upgrades. I still get to pull out lots of varieties and there are lots of new types issued every year now days but it's been over a year since I got a good upgrade. That one was a nice decent AU well made '73-D quarter. It replaced a fairly attractive VF+ so was a huge upgrade. I have the complete set now in XF- and better but a few are not very well made so need upgrading.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Thanks for all the words of support ...... this project has taken some time ..... I suppose over $2000 in change to look through.  Anyways ..... to set the record straight ..... my goal was a type set of State Quarters ..... not a full P,D,S set ..... Sooooo .... despite the kind words from many of you .... including rastatodd ... Quote:
I see your short a Wisconsin D mint The actual fact is I did not find ANY Wisconsin ..... mint does not matter to me for my type set! I've started the fun part of selecting which of the various 49 coins to place into my album ...... that will take some time. Willing to trade any of my Philly mint coins for any Mint Wisconsin! That hole is going to bug me badly. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |
