I have a complete set of State and Territorial quarters and am working on 3 sets of ATB and was wondering about the best way to display them in an album.

Should the obverse (heads) be the first thing you see of these coins or the reverse (tails)?

I think that the reverse should be the first thing you see of these coins as they change from one coin to the next. I mean we finally have a chance to get away from always seeing the obverse let's take advantage of it.

What say you?

I consider the obverse to be the side with the states designs and that they were simply minted upside down. Yes, display them any way you choose but I prefer the designs side up.

I use the reverse of my P, and the obverse of my D. Being from the east coast, the "D" mintmark always seemed special to me, so I like to put that on display here.

I keep to the Obverse on the front and I find all I have to do is turn the page and see all the reverses. I don't think it's important since just how often does anyone open an Album?

with you but if you have an album that has both P and D slots you can have the best of both worlds.
