Nice job, Debrajc!  I've got the Capital holder, and I ordered this year's proof set, but the coins have yet to arrive on my doorstep.  |

I wonder if they intend to make a holder with a Reagan slot at some point or if this is it.

There is no reason to not fix it, as it is probably very simple to do. Unless, of course, they pull a Dansco.  |

But if you don't want to insert the Reagan dollar with its reverse showing, I have a suggestion: Wait until the Reagan Reverse Proof is issued and insert that coin face up. That way you can claim that the REVERSE label is referring to the special finish on the coin...  |

That's an awesome idea captainrich I had thought about a gold foil sticker of some type and putting it on a little strip of back electrical tape.  I know...silly. I like your idea much better! Thanks |

I like your idea much better! Thanks The only problem is that the Reagan Coin & Chronicles set won't be issued until later in the year.  It's frustrating looking at that empty Capital Plastics holder, knowing full well that I have all the coins needed right now to fill it.  But I don't like to unfasten/refasten those plastic screws, so I'll likely wait until the C&C set comes out in order to fill all the holes at once. |

I like that idea as well. Yes, I hear you about fastening and unfastening all those screws. Am working on a Washington quarter Capital holder set and I am getting a lot of experience opening and closing. Do you have the black holder captainrich? Wish we didn't have to wait so long for the C & C set! |

Do you have the black holder captainrich? Yep, Debrajc, I have the black holder. Once the coins are inserted, the holder will display the Steeler team colors of black and gold. |

Eight months after my last post, I retrieved the Reagan reverse proof from one of my Coin & Chronicles sets and inserted it into the REVERSE slot of the Capital Plastics holder.  While attempting to take some photos of the finished set, I had some trouble with my reflection showing up in the shot. So excuse my photography skills  :   |

That looks AWESOME Captain! The Reagan RP is perfect for that last slot. I commend you on your patience Go Steelers I took all my Presidential proofs and silver Washingtons out of the Capital Plastics holders in favor of the CAPS album. This one made me kinda sad as I thought they looked great in there. Yes, I had the same problem with my reflection! |
