I do agree that it looks good as all the coins are a comparable grade. They are as good if not better than the ones in my set. You also have the advantage of labeled holes since I used blank pages.  |

hfjacinto, you don't collect proof coins, right?
Just no interest? Or you prefer to concentrate on purchasing nicer business strike coins, as opposed to messing with proofs?

I have a bunch of proofs in my albums, for no reason then I like proofs. I recently added a label to all the proof coins. The modern clad coinage doesn't impress me, so I don't collect modern coinage.

See here, the 1953, 1954,1955, 1957 and 1958 are proof. But I won't get a proof album, if I can find a nice proof instead of a common date (P) coin, I'll put a proof in instead.  Edited by hfjacinto

Looks great. And gotcha!
So for circumstances where you have a proof in a business strike spot, do you still collect the business strike?

That makes sense.
For completionist scenarios, I think it would bother me not having the business strike at least in the album, even if it's not in the assigned port.
Then again, I am prone to being a bit OCD.
