ATB Silver Proof CAPS Album

I have this album in progress.

First, S-mint ATBs can be clad as well (there are both business and proof strike clads from the S-mint for the later years). I believe the cases are different colors; the coins themselves can be distinguished by looking at the edges.

I use cotton gloves to manage the coins into the air-tites, but even then, some of them are still getting smudged. One has a fingerprint, and I can't believe it's mine -- I had the gloves on the entire time. I figure the smudge came from oils or something that got onto the glove as I was handling them, or possibly the cloth I'm doing the work on, maybe even from handling the air-tites without the gloves.

I may replace the problem coins eventually but I'm curious what others have to say about this as well.

Yes you should. It's probably best to only buy from sellers that accept returns.



As Alpha mentioned San Francisco makes both clad and silver proofs.

You are right.


I have the album. I have 6 of the 8 currently available proof sets, but the air-tites won't be delivered until Monday. I'll post pictures then.

I opened the 3 sets that were loose and vey easy to open. None of them show any sign of clad layers on the reeded edges. I know that's not proof positive, but short of putting an ice cube on it (which I obviously won't do) that's the best I can do. Maybe I'll do the tissue test.

I put 5 years of quarters in. I'll update it later when everything is in the album. I'm very happy with it so far.

Keep going! Individually they're not as interesting as the State series but they look nice as a set.

I have this album, and one like it for the 90% silver State Quarters.

The silver proofs are beautiful all laid out together.
Congrats on the very nice set in progress!
The 2018 silver proofs will be available next week.

You could also sign up for the product enrollment and get free budget shipping. You have a very nice looking album so far, keep us updated! I'm working on the Dansco 8146 and 8147, but have yet to put any coins in them. I actually prefer the ATB Quarters over the State Quarters, and I like seeing the contrast between the different finishes.
