I started collecting the commemoratives about 18 months ago. Figure I should be able to have the complete set by the time I retire!

Great collection.
Interesting how Dansco jumps from 1892 to 1935 in their layout sine they went alphabetical vs year of initial issue.

I believe their type set album does go by year but went by alphabet here to keep the coins together

Well done. You've already got quite a few of the pricier one. Where you've got coins I've got a lot of holes.

You have some nice coins there and have put quite a dent in the set already! As others have said, I noticed that you have some of the tougher ones and are missing some of the easier ones. Is that just coincidence or do you have a grand plan in mind? In either case, I'm impressed with the full date/mint mark set. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!

I started collecting all the coins of one design at first but soon grew bored buying pretty much the same coin over and over. One of the main reasons I love the commemoratives is they are each different and unique! So I began to switch it up a bit and tried to knowledge myself in what the different ones sold for so i'd be able to recognize a good deal when I seen it and thats how I acquired some of the tougher ones. My goal is not to have the most pristine collection but a decent example of each and every one. Some of the current ones will eventually be replaced. Happy collecting!
