Over the past few months I have been saving and rolling up quarters until I had amassed about 20 rolls of quarters and had started considering on putting together a set of circulating
Statehood Quarters. I had already purchased a Whitman
Statehood Quarter album for just the P & D mints. So after I got a little bored on the Jefferson circulating set, I decided today to tackle this project. At first I thought that there was no way that I had enough
Statehood Quarters in those rolls to make an appreciable dent in the album. After all I needed 112 quarters.
But I was amazed at the success that I had. By far the most luck I had was with the "P" mintmark. I got them all with the exception of New Jersey, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands. I did slightly worse with the "D" mintmark. I just need Missouri, California, Oregon, Nebraska, New Mexico, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
So I need to find only 14 more coins to complete this project. I feel confident that I will be able to pull these from the wild. Don't know how long it will take me, but I feel that it can be done.
What do you think the possibility that I can get a complete San Francisco set (clad and silver) just from roll searching?
While searching the rolls that I had set aside, I found that I had 10
ATB Quarters so now I'm setting those aside against the possibility that I can do the same thing there with the "P" and "D" mintmarks. Sometime this week I will go to my lcs to see about getting a similiar Whitman folder for those coins. But I will have to wait for another 12 years to go by before I can see some results.
I personally think that the Whitman albums is an affordable way to put together a circulating set. However, who knows if I'll not transfer them into another album or not. I will say this though, they are compact and are easily stored.
