Crazyb0 CAPS has two ways to collect Lincoln proofs. One is to collect the proofs in their own album or the have an album containing spaces for both proof and regular struck coins.

I looked, but didn't see a CAPS Lincoln proof album. Did I miss it? Do you know the album number?

scurry64- Your coins look great in the CAPS album. I apologize, I missread the catalog. They don''t make a proof only! I was thinking about having CAPS make a customized album for my Lincoln proofs. Sorry for the confusion. As my collections is still small and consists of Lincoln cents and Barber dimes. I was conflicted about the best way to store and preserve them. I recently made the jump to airtites and CAPS albums. Decided to purchase the albums that included the proofs. Just starting to place the coins in the album. I hope my set look nearly as nice as yours.

Fantastic looking Album. Never saw a Caps Album before. As soon as I saw yours, I started to think about getting one for one of my sets. Only problem is my Whitman Albums have slots for all the proofs, all the 2009's, the 55 and 72 and 95 doubled so what would I do with those? However, that Caps Album sure looks impressive. How much was that Album?

I'm not a big fan of TPGs and slabbing, but I would think that at least the 72, if not the 95, DDO are worth certification. That gives you an option for what to do with them. Also, there are blank holes on the last page of my album. You could put your DDOs in an air-tite and keep them in the album. My album has labeled holes for all the 2009 cents, both P and D.
If you want to include your proofs, you should get album #2020 (memorials, including proofs) and possibly #2021 (shields, including proofs). It gets pricier at this point. My plan is to get a custom labeled album and blank pages for proofs. They will customize an album cover to say just about anything you want.

This particular album was $38.49 on CAPSAlbums.com, not including air-tites. But, it is cheaper on ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/CAPS-Album...Sw2VJVgIty). I am as happy as can be with mine.

I just looked and on ebay it is $30.79 but then you have to add the postage and shipping for $9,99. Total of $40.78.
For some reason people seam to not notice the P & H cost.
