My family back in the states set over an album that holds the P/D mint marked America the Beautiful coins.

I been filling it in to make up a 2nd set of the coins for my collection.

Once I get the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site in Alabama coins for the album (forgot I had the album so I did not ask my US coin source for a pair of these for the album but they will sort me out soon with those), I am going to be left with x8 empty holes....x4 on the P mint mark section and x4 on the D mint mark section.

Here is a picture of holes from the Philly section:
America-The-Beautiful-Coin-Album-Quandary

Easy option is to either leave them empty or put an extra P and D quarter from the series that I have spare in so that obverse shows.

If I do 2nd option with putting an example that shows the obverse with the P and D mint mark, I would be left with x6 coins (3 for each of the two mints).

Open to any ideas of suggestions.

P section: ATB P obverse, 2019-W obverse, 2021-P Crossing the Delaware obverse, 2021-P Crossing the Delaware Reverse
D Section: ATB D obverse, 2020-W obverse, 2021-D Crossing the Delaware obverse, 2021-D Crossing the Delaware Reverse

Just an idea. That might be what I'd do if I had an album like that.

I have the same album and just but the coins in reverse, but you can add a Washington Crossing the Delaware, put one in Reverse to show Washington, add a proof and add a V75 example.

I only have slabbed examples.

Washington Crossing the Delaware:

Proof:

I like @Tanman2001's suggestions. I wouldn't put proof coins into a folder.

Another option is to have in one section a P, D, S (business strike), and W showing the obverses. In the other section have P&D 2009 quarters and P&D 2021 Crossing the Delaware quarters.

How about an impaired proof found in circulation? I'm pretty sure I did that with some of my Whitman Folders.

All,

Many thanks for the all of the ideas and suggestions. I do have a spare P/D to put in to show the obverse design over here in England.

A hybrid idea of following sounds cool to do if I was living in states.

Obverses
P, D, S, 2019 W, 2020 W V75, P & D 2021 Washington Crossing the Delaware

Reverse
2021 Washington Crossing the Delaware

Can anyone give me a rough idea of what the S, W, and W V75 quarters cost over there?

On ebay the West Points tend to be $10-15 raw. San Francisco business strikes are usually $1-2.

Ouch on price of the West Point quarters to get additional ones of those to go into this sort of album for a 2nd set of the coins since the W ones that I do have are in capsules (remember I need to factor in postage costs as well and any possible customs\vat charges).

The extra P/D Washington Crossing the Delaware quarters that I got, I paired them with additional P/D New Jersey State Quarters since the both have the same theme on the reverse.

Might just resort of adding a pair of P/D ones showing the obverse once I get the Airmen coins and call it done for that album.
