starting a cap album for Franklin half dollar proofs and silver(no clad) 90% and 40% Kennedy half dollars starting with both types of 1964, then the 40% including the bicentennial and then the 1992 to present. already have the 2014 anniversary set, going to leave them in the blue holder. Since these have all been broken out of the mint sets, putting them in air tites makes sense to preserve them. excuse the pics, lots of shiny silver and plastic to reflect
Proofs struck before (about) 1950 are much less obvious because they did not have cameo devices with mirror fields. Before 1950 proof coins are also much scarcer.
nicklesearcher, that is a good question, how many coins are there? I guess it depends on how deep I go into the varieties or just collect one from each year, an example are the 4 from 2014 shown above. part of the fun of putting this album together is figuring out how many coins should be in it, too early to tell.
