As for the folder, my current Littleton folder has holes ready for the next 27 years of P & D dimes. I hope I will still be around to put that last one in.

Attic guy I would not keep proofs in the cardboard folder that only shows one side of the coin these types of folder offer very little protection for the coin. Unless these proofs are roll finds and already impaired

I always fill them up with varieties and errors.
There aren't as many dime varieties so it might be a big challenge.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

First off, when you say 'folder', do you mean the folding cardboard ones with the holes half-cut out? And is an album the 3-ring kind with pages with holes cut all the way through with the plastic inserts? Yes. Quote:
What is the problem (danger?) with storing them that way? Is it bad for all proofs or just some (silver, copper, zinc, 'gold' dollars, etc.)? As mentioned before, the folders do not protect the coins. One side is exposed to the paper backing, the other exposed to the air; neither is good for a coin, high grade and proof coins in particular. Circulation coins are fine, but I would never keep mint state or proof coins in a folder. |

Pretty good idea people. :) I still unsure but I might do proofs for modern coins. Silver of course. It will be a challenge to find impaired proofs or for cheap ones. But for now. I need to fill my holes but can't start buying them till 11/05/2013. ( I need to wait for my ebay vouchers) |

And is an album the 3-ring kind with pages with holes cut all the way through with the plastic inserts? This has been discussed many times in the past. So many people mistake Folders for Albums. Yes a Folder is just that. A thing that folds and has no protection for the coins except when it is closed. One of the problems is you can not see both sides of the cois. Next is the worst part. You normally push a coin into the slots with your thumb leaving a nice print on the face of the coin. On a Proof coin this looks really lousy. Next is how to get them out. Again, you push from the rear and sometimes push a hole right through. When a Folder is open, the coins could be attacked by your fingers, a sneeze, a cough, spilled drinks or even a fly or some other insect in your house. The worsst part is that shinny stuff on the rear of the slot. That is glue left over from the manufacturing process. All the above is why you should use an Album. |

Okay carl, you got me thinking now. What kind of album would you recommend?
I'm not a fan of putting coins inside folders or albums but I find it much more fun to do.
I would like to put all my proof Lincoln cents into one. (Album)
