heres the back story..
Dad was collecting coins, he passed in 2004
my Mom passed in Dec, 2013
that is when I took possession of his collection
he was collecting the State Quarters
his album stops in 2003, I would like to continue
his album..Te quarters seem to be clad, and he was collecting
2 P's of each and 2-D's
why 2? possible circilated and uncirculated?
here is a 2003 arkansas...to help id as if clad and uncirc
next question..how hard is it going to be to complete this album? are the quarters going to be outrageously expensive?
yes, I know look on ebay..would rather ask ya'll

You could just buy a quarter box at your bank and probably find most of them in high circulated condition

2 grand kids?, maybe just O.C.D.

Get a $500 box and most likely you can finish both sets in no time.

Or get a few rolls each week and if you are really lazy it might take you a month.

As far as large (100+ coin) sets are concerned, the State Quarter set is the easiest to finish in AU+, especially if you're not concerned with proofs.

Collections are routinely dumped into circulation, so 1 box should yield just about an entire collection, and 2-5 boxes should get you the whole thing in AU/MS. The Territory quarters (2009) are a bit more difficult to find, but they still pop up from time to time, if you want to add those as well.

Or if you want them in Unc find a coin dealers and buy them for around fifty cents apiece. A clad State Quarter set is easy and inexpensive to collect. You dad was probably just collecting them from circulatiom.

That coin looks unc or close to it. As mentioned you can pull a good number from circulation in high grades, at least for the later years you are lookng for. I see many of them when I go through boxes.

Simply buying them from a dealer all in one shot would be easier and not terribly expensive. So whichever way you prefer will do the trick.
