What would you guys do if you had 25 extra holes?  I don't know what to put in the other 25 holes. I have a complete set from 1965 to 2013. I didn't complete the 1946 to 1964 yet but I'm working on it. |

Proofs? Maybe a 1996 W or just unique looking ones with odd toning.

Proofs can be nice. What year should I start the proofs at then? You think silver proofs or just normal? I'm thinking silver. *Added, don't know about silver proofs... ebay prices are crazy... If I can find good deals I will do them. Edited by solotime

Silver is always good. I believe silver proofs ran from 52-64 and 92-present? You may want a second opinion on that though

Sorry the silver proof began in 1950, not 52.

My book is saying 1950 they started.
Do you know the basic price for the proofs? My book is saying 50 dollars but I don't think it's even right.

For what it is worth, I would not put proofs in a folder. An album, yes, but not a folder.

I would agree with JBuck actually. Check out numismedia.com for prices.

And is an album the 3-ring kind with pages with holes cut all the way through with the plastic inserts? I have proofs in both of these holders. What is the problem (danger?) with storing them that way? Is it bad for all proofs or just some (silver, copper, zinc, 'gold' dollars, etc.)? |

As for the folder, my current Littleton folder has holes ready for the next 27 years of P & D dimes. I hope I will still be around to put that last one in.

Attic guy I would not keep proofs in the cardboard folder that only shows one side of the coin these types of folder offer very little protection for the coin. Unless these proofs are roll finds and already impaired

just an idea do one year in all grades think 65 would be the best luck on getting a G4

I always fill them up with varieties and errors.
There aren't as many dime varieties so it might be a big challenge.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

As mentioned before, the folders do not protect the coins. One side is exposed to the paper backing, the other exposed to the air; neither is good for a coin, high grade and proof coins in particular. Circulation coins are fine, but I would never keep mint state or proof coins in a folder. |

Pretty good idea people. :) I still unsure but I might do proofs for modern coins. Silver of course. It will be a challenge to find impaired proofs or for cheap ones. But for now. I need to fill my holes but can't start buying them till 11/05/2013. ( I need to wait for my ebay vouchers) |
