I'm curious as to why Dansco does not include holes for the proof issues. Any ideas?
The 8xxx series Dansco albums say "including proof-only issues" on their cover.

This means there are proof holes for when only a proof is issued, typically San Francisco minted coins from 1968 onward. This is why there are no proof holes for 1968-S to 1974-S Lincoln Cents in the 8100 or 1968-S to 1970-S Jefferson nickels in the 8113.

The album that goes against this setup is the 8166 Kennedy half dollar album. It does have a separate hole for the 1964 proof. It also has holes for the 1965-1967 SMS coins.

I have two Franklins, as types- a loose 1949 and this slabbed proof.

Here is my home made set holder from the 70s. These were all circulation finds.

When I started collecting seriously again, I knew I did not have a Bugs Bunny (or so I thought), so bought this one:

In blissfull, uneducated bliss I thought I had "completed" the set. Then saw the following and could not resist it b/c I like fantasy coins:

And NOW it was complete!

NOT! A few more years of CCF education showed me DDOs, REV types, proofs, and other Bugs Bunny's still out there!

Thanks or that thorough explanation, jbuck. I appreciate it!

I like that 64 D. If Kennedy had not been assassinated, it probably would not be a fantasy coin.
Rest in Peace

The perfect segue to my Library of Coins Franklin album.

and here is an updated picture of the last page. I'm guessing this went to print sometime in early '63 based the absence of mintage numbers for 1963 and of course the run on page 4 to 1970. I have yet to find another album like this one..

I remember the old days when the 1949S far outshined all others as far as prices go. These days the 1949D and 1950D and a number of others surpass it in MS65.
Nice Franklins all. One of my favorites too. And I am a fan of Ben Franklin and his history too.
