when you get some coins in them."
I sure will, and I'll try to put up different views than yours so I don't post the same thing.
Also, the proof sets that contain the clad S coins are the blue packages and the proof silver sets are the red packages? I'm speaking of the 1999 ~ 2008 quarters here. (I have no lcs to see this stuff first hand and have to rely on seller descriptions.) Thank You

I would suggest ... post any pictures you like .. don't worry if they are there twice. 1999 - 2008 red box have silver proofs blue box have clad proof for proof quarter sets (only quarters) blue box clad proofs 2004 - 2008 grey box silver proof They did not issue silver proof quarters only from 1999 - 2003    |

Wow, quite an array there GR58.......I was just coming back here to edit my post because I thought I was squared away with it after reading about them at a popular coin dealers site. Although I didn't see any grey boxes there. Your post makes it very clear to me. Thank you for the information, I appreciate it.

Just wanted to mention. Always make sure the right lens is in the right box.
I have seen seen clad coins .. In silver proof boxes.

Posts are very difficult to read without them.***Well, I'm usually just working from pictures so I guess the best way to assume the right product is in the right box is to just try to deal with dealers known to be reputable. And then hope for the best! |

I was looking for information on some quarters and ran across this old post. I have made pretty good progress since then, and thankfully, have learned a lot more about the subject as well. I did complete 8143, with the exception of the 1999 silver proofs, 8144 completed, and 8145 completed, all uncirculated.

Nickels rule Good to hear your still working on your quarters  It was interesting to read this old post. For my progress, I see I was at 8500 quarters then, now I have over 13,000 quarters. |

I am currently using a Whitman album for my finished Statehood Quarters set, but I am considering switching to a Dansco album for my ATB Quarter set (proofs only). I am not sure if I like the blue background of the Whitman album for proof silver coins. The dark fields of proof coins seem to washout against those dark blue pages of a Whitman album. Looking at the proof silver coins displayed in the Dansco album on the first page of this thread, the coins really seems to visually pop out. |

The Dansco 8146 (2010-2015) and 8147 (2016-2021) albums would look good with the proofs and silver proofs in them as you mentioned they have different color than whitman/intercept sheild type albums, but also has spaces to entice you to later add the P+Ds and other proofs. Should you not wish to consider at least some of the others later it may be overkill for the price and might just like the 7137. Edited by datadragon
