I recently purchased this entire series under clad proofs. I decided to fill them into the Dansco State Quarter date set album. Not the most exciting coins ever, but being they are all proofs, I think they are pretty cool. These proofs are all clad.  First page. Sorry, tried to get the best pics I could.  Second page  Third and final page. The only thing I dislike about this album... I thought it had more pages initially. I also HATE how Dansco does this. If you're gonna put empty ports, at least put them at the bottom of the page.  The District of Columbia and Territory coins. I like that they are in the same album.  That's basically all I got! I want to fill in the two empty slots, but I'm not entirely sure with what. I had considered adding another empty quarter page to add a few additional coins, but not entirely sure what either. |

Very Nice. I just kept mine in the OGP lenses. Any Ideas for filling the two empty holes? I just hate having empty spots in my albums. Perhaps the reverse of a proof Bi-Centennial and reverse of a proof Washington Crossing the Delaware? Edited by MisterT

Maybe put the obverse of a proof State Quarter in one and the obverse of a proof woman's quarter in the other? Or perhaps get one of those tokens from an old mint set and stick it in there. Aren't those the size of a quarter? The design of that album is really stupid. They knew how many coins there were, why have extra holes at all? That specific page is laid out differently than the rest so they could have left off the two empty holes. Or they could've just put two territories in the row with AK and HI and the other four in the last row. |

That looks fantastic!  Quote:

They could have easily lined up the last page a little differently. Quote:

Alright. I was at the coin store today and I came across this bizarre find.  I was like, what the heck is this? Evidently, from my understanding, it's a copy of a prototype design for the territory/DC quarters that rejected initially? It looks pretty cool, though. I feel like this should have been the actual DC quarter design that came out in 2009. There was one for Puerto Rico too I believe. I decided to throw that in there, and the obverse of my 1970-S I found in a bank roll, and call it a day!  Now... I am wondering if I should add a few blank pages, and maybe add some clad Washington quarters to the mix, or just leave it as is? Edited by Humanist1287

That's not a prototype rejected by the US mint, it's a fantasy coin created by Daniel Carr.
