Thanks for your service switchbox and welcome! Too bad you didn't keep up with coins while you were active duty. You missed many good years.
As to your question, which do you prefer? Proofs look nice and the early S proofs are cheap to buy so either way you go isn't wrong. I often wondered why the album makers never put both in the set.

You will find that the same "problem" exists for the 1964 and earlier proofs (when they were made in Philadelphia). The key description on these Dansco albums is often misread, ignored, or completely forgotten... These are not with proof albums, but including proof-only issues albums. That is, for the date-mint combination where only a proof is made, there is a separate hole for it. The one exception that I know of is the Kennedy half dollar, which includes a 1964 proof hole in addition to the normal 1964 hole. Of course, that album is also the only one with 1965~1967 SMS holes. |

Jbuck, I think that could also be said of the SBA w/proof albums. They have slots for the S-mint regular strikes and also the S-mint proofs for 79, 80, and 81. (Wonder how Dansco will handle this issue for the new 2012-S "circulating" ATB-quarters  ) In my albums, I've got regular circulating issues in my 68 through 74 S-slots for cents but I used proofs for the nickels. No rhyme or reason, really, it just worked out that way. Edited by ljenkins990

WELCOME!!!
My advise is to put circulation coins for those dates. And here is why; you are going to find the same problem with the 2005 to 11 "Satin uncirculated" issues from the Mint. These were uncirculated coins that the Mint put in a special set and sold to collectors. In 2005 they went to a special surface for these coins.
So if you want a complete set, minus errors and varieties, you should include the satin issues. I buy the generic "cent" pages from Dansco and put the proofs you mention and the satins in those.
Just my 2 cents!

My Jefferson album did not have the proof-only holes (7113), so I added a page for the proofs. This album ends with 2003. My Lincoln album was a 7100, but I converted it to a 8100 with replacement pages. It ends in 2007. Quote:

For most recent coins, I have a "ultra-modern" album with blank pages to pick-up where the the others end. By the way, the 1968-S to 1974-S proof Lincoln Cents are hiding in my custom "Indian Head Cent, Buffalo nickel, Mercury dime" album. |

Thanks for all the guidance, I did notice that both the Lincoln Cent and Jefferson nickel albums have blank slots on the last page. I already put the proofs for those years in the designated slots, so I'll have to put the uncirculated coins in the back. Thanks again for all the help. |

The "s" circulating coins to my way of thinking are already in Dansco's ATB album (including proof) #8146. It already includes the silver and uncirculated proof coins. To my knowledge there is no difference between either the uncirculated proof or circulated coins. Can anyone tell the difference between the two once they are out of either their mint holder or roll? The "s" circulated coin is NIFC. Just like the current Kennedy halves. |

The JFK with Proof album is about their best.
It has holes for just about everything. There
are holes for all proofs, SMS, as well as the
business strikes. The only way it could be more
comprehensive for the JFK set is to have a hole
for the matte proof, and holes for the satin
issues of 2005-2010. I think they should do all
the albums like that, IMO.

and put the proofs you mention and the satins in those. The cent and dollars did not receive the 'satin' treatment. Only the 5c to 50c (clads) were 'satin'. For 2009 though, Dansco did not leave room for the zinc set of cents along with the copper set. The mint set (and proof set) in 2009 contained copper cents, while circulation cents (and mint rolls) were zinc. Dansco made room for the copper vs zinc in 82, but not 2009. Edited by ratio411

Appears that there was no thinking in making many Albums. Many have those blanks at the end due to no planning on the total coins for a series. I still think that the Uncirc ones belong in the slots where you put your Proofs though. |

And I agree with the others that the UNC coins go in those slots and not the proofs, since the S coins were made for circulation for those years. But it is your collection and you can put it any way you like.  |

There has been alot of compelling arguments for the UNC coins, so I swapped them around as I tend to agree. For daniels, I retired to a small coal mining town in northeast PA. Thanks again for all the help as I'll probably need it as I fill up my other danscos.

I hate to disagree with a fellow member but the Lincoln cents did indeed have a satin finish. Just as a 'sanity' check, I made a quick hop to ebay and saw a couple of hundred pcgs and ngc slabbed "satin" coins. Never mind that I did a quick check of my own coins....... |
