I only care about the proof Kennedy halves and not the silver or clad. So would buying this Album and filling it with proofs only be a great idea?

If you know where I can get it cheaper, please let me know!

What can I use for labels?
Did they make proofs for every year but not 1975? (1964 to 2014)

There are no bad ideas. If that's what you like, go for it. If the shipping is high for the album, you may get a better deal at your LCS. Might be able to pick up a gently used one on ebay for around $10.

I really don't got a LCS.

I'll see what shipping is.

*Added, it's $6.50 for shipping.

So 26.07 without tax. Not sure if taxed or not.

I got a better idea.

Why buy an album when only two pages will complete it?
I can just add these into my Franklin half dollar Album.
It should be much cheaper buy two blank pages with 20 holes.

I'd use a Brother P-Touch label maker with clear tape & black letters.

A good place to start would be the Red Book.

Kennedy info! Woohooo here we go!! They have every year 1964-2014 as proofs 1975-1976 bi centennial year coin applies for both so is what I did was a clad proof and the silver clad proof the coin was the same for the teo years the only way to tell whats what is by the cent dime or nickel in the proof set whether or not you have a coin that was minted in 75 or 76. I am two coins away from a complete total Kennedy half set the 10,12 clad proofs. I originally did what your doing and then I had to upgrade and collect them all...piece of advice? Its more economical to buy the complete proof sets then it is to but the single coins other than the key dates of the silver proof set. That was my experience anyway good luck put up pics!
Also the dansco album store...thats been the best online experience I have had they ship fast and have great prices I also suggest getting the slipcase it does help protect the coins IMHO and makes the album look cooler

I made a complete list of what I need and bought some more.
My set go's from 1964 - 2009 I believe.

You guys nailed it, thanks!

Now I can share pictures tomorrow but that might ruin the excitement right?
