However, as my type-set collection has grown, I&#8217;ve hit a wall where most of the remaining absences in my collection are far too expensive for it to remain a hobby!  However, each spring (or so), I get my mint proof set and I&#8217;m usually rather thrilled.  This time, however, I opted to get a pair of sets and break up one of them.  The 2012-S coins are utterly beautiful and I&#8217;ve already added the quarters to my collection.  It&#8217;s so much better than getting uncirculated coins (which I did for several years) and ultimately completely worth it.  With the 50 state quarters and 6 territory coins, the 44-coin set of <b>America The Beautiful<\/b> quarters will bring this tally up to 100.  It&#8217;s madness.
