Hi. I just wanded to share this. I have finally finished my 20th and 21st Centuries type album. Pictures are the best I could do at the moment. A few notes: - Where possible, I went for silver. So State Quarters, ATB Quarters etc. are silver proof. The same applies for Bicentennial coinage. - Shield cent was found in circulation in Slovenia  - I got silver Roosevelt dime and Virgin Islands for free as the seller messed up one of my previous orders. - The collection would not be complete if not for help of two forum members: Half and twinkinator. Thank you guys  - It is very hard to find decent and not overpriced US coins in Slovenia. The hardest coin to find was Peace dollar. I bought it at a coin show in Italy last month and thud completing the album. - As for the design of the album, I miss buffallo nickel type 1, SLQ type 1 and separated Bicentennial silver and clad issues. - In time I'd like to upgrade some cents, nickels, Walking Liberty half and perhaps Morgan dollar, as the latter was probably cleaned. - Now I'll focus on my Euro and Franz Joseph I. collections for a bit. Thank you for reading                |

Thank you. As I've said, I'll focus on Euro coins and coins with portraits of Franz Joseph I. now. Probably . As for US coins I'm still trying to figure out what's next. I'm looking towards silver Roosevelt dimes and/or Franklin halves. |

That's mighty impressive, seeing as you live nowhere near any place that any of these coins would be common. Congrats on completing the set! Well done!  |

Serious kudos for your selections for this collection. You kept in a general "look" and stayed that way, regardless of the actual technical grade. You ended up with a "complete" set that looks like it is meant to be together.
Taking into account your location, and I can only say that you really accomplished a seriously cool goal.

Very nice set. Considering your location it couldn't have been easy to get some of those coins.Good luck on your next set.

Was going to think I wished the 7070 album could be completed just as easily as this album, but like noted above, this set would be much harder to complete in Slovenia! Very nice collection and congrats on the completion! XD

Nice!! I'm also working on this set, but it's a lot easier for me to find the coins here...
Well done!
