I finally put together one of the Dansco's I've always wanted to do: The 7146, filled with Proofs. Well, okay, I always wanted to fill it with Silver Proofs, but I just made a good deal which included a run of 1999-2008 Clad Proof Quarters (complete with boxes, COA's, all in a 10-lens Mint Box). So, time to get the white gloves and start crackin'...  It cost me less than $71.46 to complete this 7146, including the cost of the album itself.  A 2009 Clad Proof Quarters Set (w box/COA) is on its way via ebay to fill six more of those holes on the last page, which will raise the final tally to about $82.      |

Nice, but not to be a buzz kill, where is the virgin islands coin? I only ask because I just found my first one in circulation two days ago. Up until then I didn't even know it existed.

 Congrats and completing the set. I have this same set, and also did one with the silver proofs .. They are both nice looking albums to have. DNA did post that he has the 2009 set coming from ebay, which has the Virgin Island coin. Those 6 coins can be added to the blank holes at the end of the page. Or there is a P,D,S,S album for just the 2009 coins, another easy set to complete. FYI - the 2008 quarters only(clad)mint box set, grey sheets for around $30.00 .. so DNA you did really good on the price of putting this set together. |

Very true, I'm anal about my albums and like to have the slots labeled. If I could learn to let that go Id save some money lol |

Very nice looking set. If I ever start to collect the State Quarter series, it likely would be the silver proofs b/c I not only like the looks of the coins, but I like the idea of them appreciating in value rather than depreciating like clad is doomed to. II have nothing against people wanting the clads or anything - they sure make a large, varied-looking set. Its just my personal preference. Until recently getting an album that includes proofs up to around the year 2000, I was stopping my WQ collection at 98. Now I will probably just stop at the end of the album. Maybe the generic Dansco quarter album may find itself being filled with silver proofs for the Statehoods etc. |

I bought this Clad Proof Set in 2009 (for the Copper Cents!).  These are the 2009 Clad Proof Quarters:  I'm not going to pull a jbuck and crack an intact full Proof Set just for the Quarters. No need to when I can go on ebay and buy a 2009 Proof Territory Quarters Set with box/COA for $12 including shipping. Quote:
...depreciating like clad is doomed to. Original combined issue prices for the 1999 through 2009 Clad Proof Quarters (box/COA) Sets = $160.45 What I paid for these 1999-2009 Clad Proof Quarters Sets = $62.00. Just like with a used car, I avoided the biggest depreciation hit. Ironically, if silver has a long run upward in the future, that's when I think Clad Proofs would finally rise. $100/oz. would price a lot of people out of collecting Silver Proofs, and would motivate many others to sell their Silver Proof Sets and buy Clad Sets to replace them, increasing the demand for Clads. So, it is possible we are close to a "bottom-out" point for Clads, and if not, at least I didn't pay anywhere near the original issue prices for these Quarters. Edited by DNA

The last four holes (after the 2009's) are now filled with impaired Clad Proof Quarters that I found in my change. Quote:

Very nice. I have been looking around for this album for my silver proof quarters. I suppose I will grab the National Park one as well and keep it updated each year.

I was forced to get the proof issue Danscos for the State and ATB Quarters because I had to have something to put the other proofs in after I broke the rest of the set open for my other Danscos. Forced I tell you. Hehehehehe |

Here's Page 3, now completely filled. All six 2009 Clad Proof Quarters, and four impaired Clad Proof Quarters I received in my change. Total cost for the coins in this album (including all 1999-2009 boxes/COA's, and 10-lens Mint storage box) = $63  Edited by DNA
