Canefan Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 07/09/2018 01:39 am I have several proof sets from 70s and 80s that were not properly stored. The plastic is pretty scratched up on these sets. I was thinking of busting them out and putting them in Air-Tite direct fit holders. Does anyone have any negative thoughts on the air-Tite holders or have other holders that are preferred.

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 2800 Posts	Posted 07/09/2018 09:56 am Interesting mtuma3. I didn't know Dansco made those. Hmmm.

jbuck Moderator United States 66910 Posts	Posted 07/09/2018 11:10 am Air Tite holders are fine if that is what you want to do with them. I broke all of my proof sets apart and put each coin in the appropriate Dansco album (Lincoln cents, Jefferson nickels, etc.).

oober Valued Member United States 466 Posts	Posted 07/09/2018 7:43 pm I have all my proofs in direct fit air tights and those in air tight tubes. I am not to the point of displaying, but did pick up some of the albums that hold air tights which they will go into when I am ready. You buy bulk, the air tights get pretty reasonable. Purchase all from JP's Corner. Report this Post to the Staff

xlrcable New Member United States 40 Posts	Posted 07/12/2018 7:05 pm Does anyone else find that the direct-fit ATs are awfully tight for proofs, especially when there's a reeded edge? I started to put some proof quarters in them once, but stopped because I didn't like applying the pressure required. Report this Post to the Staff
