The beginning of the Registry Set

After a 13 year hiatus, I finally got back into the coin world, and in November 2015 I purchased 79 quarters from usstatequarters.com to fill the remaining holes I had in my Dansco 1999-2008 Statehood Quarter album.

I was pretty happy going through the quarters as I placed them into the Dansco album after not having even opened it up in 13 years, and felt a sense of accomplishment getting all 100 P&D coins in there!

Then, I remembered I had 2 quarters that I had submitted to NGC back in 2000 and found 'em! What great memories that came back from searching rolls and mint sets to find those 2 quarters I had submitted that came back MS-67! But, I realized, those were the only 2 slabbed ones I had. Instant dilemma...

Well, I had to solve the dilemma, so I created a new account on the NGC Registry, (since I couldn't remember my password and email from 2000), and put those two quarters in their slots. Upon further investigation, I realized "HEY, I can build a high-grade collection!", and there it started...

By the end of November, I had 3 coins in their slots in the Statehood Quarters 1999-2008, Circulation issue Registry set. By the end of December I had added 42 more! *wiping brow*... Thus far in January 2016, I've added another 4 more, and just today purchased some more that I'm anxiously awaiting to arrive.

I've already "met" some nice people here in the Collectors Society forums and am looking forward to continuing to build on the collection. 140 coins total for the collection, ('cause of those darn SMS's), so I have A LOT of searchin' to do!
