But do we ever really finish these or are they just a continual work in progress ?

I am pleased to be able to say that I today finished another

Registry Set....My Silver Proof State Quarter Set is finally done . Well maybe not...I could upgrade it quite a bit to be sure but every slot is now filled .

I think now I am going to take a bit of a breather then finish my regular issue 1932-64 quarter set . I have unfortunately been ( and am still ) very sick with Bronchitis and it's really kicking my tail .

It does take some of the pleasure out of what is typically a very fulfilling time in a collector's experiance .... completing a set .

I leave you with a scan of the $50 FRN from my last post along with the scan of another similar one that appeared strangely within 2 days of the first one at my workplace .

I suspect that they both likely came from the same source ....as they are both Chicago FRN and both Series 1934 and in similar condition . I am really certain IF the story could be told as to where these 2 bills were BEFORE I bought them ....it would read vastly more interesting that my set completion journal entry . It's that type of story which has always fascinated me ...if a coin or bank note could talk what story would it be able to tell of it's history .

Regards and Happy Easter / Passover to All who celebrate them .
