American Silver Eagle Dansco Question.

Same here.

Do you have the 1995-W ASE proof or the 2019-S Enh Rev Proof?

Both, I was lucky enough to get the 2019 S directly from the mint during that mayhem and sent it to NGC for grading which came back 70.

The 1995 W I bought this year with some money I received from an inheritance to complete the proof collection. It's a PF 69 from PCGS.

As already mentioned, Dansco isn't an option for you, but you should be able to use the ENCAP 40/41 page from Lighthouse to do the trick.

Lighthouse ENCAP 40/41 Page

Lighthouse also sell albums for the pages.

Most of the proofs I have aren't graded. The graded coins I have are the higher profile coins in my collection. Basically the purpose is to make them easier to view, increase their liquidity, and to tell my family to pay special attention to the graded ones if anything happens to me and they want to liquidate (i.e. don't assume they're worth just $50). I have on my to-do list to put stickers on the more valuable coins listing their approx. value so the family knows what they're worth and not get shorted.




I'll certainly look at those. Thanks!




Not against the idea of doing a transfer to Airtites, just don't want to leave them out in the open exposed like normal Dansco folders where you have to pop them manually into the folder page without being in the capsule.

Great idea! I sort of do that but it's all in a spreadsheet at this point. I'm (hopefully) many years away from having to worry about it but life is life and anything can happen and happen in a hurry. Rather than individually label everything I may put together a simplified spreadsheet or document with the "big ticket" items with photos to help them identify and explanation of how best to liquidate everything if needed.



Agreed!



That's why I went with CAPS in the first place. I'd be OK with sticking bullion ASEs in a Dansco but not the proofs, UNCs, RPs, ERPs, etc. But as morgansdad said above, each collector has their own style and there is no wrong way.

I'm certainly of the younger demographic on this forum. That said, my father passed at the age of 60 two years ago from cancer in the span of 8 months after being diagnosed (his death was sudden since he was responding well originally to treatment) so that hit home a bit knowing "you never know when it's your time". He had a decent collection of firearms, but didn't keep an inventory of their value. Fortunately, he passed a decent bit of knowledge to the family, so we knew which were the good ones and which were the junk he liked to accumulate to eventually sell to those "buy-backs" for extra money. The good stuff is staying with mom.

Because of that, I have every bit of confidence the family would know to pay attention to the gold and graded items, but would like to mark the big ticket ones so they know not to sell those for cheap at a flea market in case something happens suddenly.

Looks interesting and is a solid option. Some observations

On the plus side:
o Zero touching of the actual coin
o You get 20 ASEs/page vs 16/page vs CAPS pages.
o Pages fit in Lighthouse Grande albums, which are solid and affordable albums with slipcases. (I happen to use these for my world paper money collection as well and love them.)

On the downside (I use that term loosely)
o There are no labels and doesn't look like much room for making your own. I'm sure there are plenty of ways to address that.
o I don't know but I'm assuming the pages are also thicker to accommodate the thickness of slabs/OGP.
