I found a link discussing this approach to collecting the silver proofs. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...IC_ID=308054The OP seems to be no longer active. If anyone knows him, it would be great to get in contact with him. So, I want to do the same thing as scurry64. Just by happenstance, I fell in love with the 99% silver issues and bought one that features a place I enjoyed visiting. Then I started getting some others (i.e Mount Hood, Yellowstone, notwithstanding that they are 90%). I have about 12 now. As for storage/display I want to follow scurry64's approach. Using the CAPS ATB type set album (one of each design, regardless of finish and mint). I found a link here: https://www.valleycoin.com/supplies...-silver.html Don't ask me why the link is named so...but the image matches. I have never heard of a CAPS album before so I'm open to any other suggestions. Of course I just need it to hold one issue of each design. Thanks for your help! Edited by asherkobin

 to CCF! This is a difficult question and subject to person preference. Personally I have a Whitman album for P&D examples from circulation. That's great but what about proof and silver and W and such? There are more than a few years with more than 5 issues. The 2020 issues have 8 distinct quarters, for instance. For an all-inclusive collection, I think CAPS is a good option. It is customizable, and since the ATB set varies from year to year, you can customize your own pages to suit your collection. I am not aware of a mass-produced folder that will encompass every issue. Another option is to do 2x2's.  |

I bought all of them straight from the mint and keep them in the boxes they came in. Different store for different folks.

I like the CAPS albums, they make for a nice looking set. Good luck with your project! Please share photos of your progress if you like.

I think the CAPS products are great. I've placed several orders with them for custom-printed pages and am about to place another. True, they are a little more expensive once the Air-Tite holders are factored in, but their flexibility to be tailored to specific needs is unparalleled. Here's a link to the CAPS web site: https://www.capsalbums.com/Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

commems: Thanks for posting the actual CAPS company website. I spent too much time searching to web but just got retailers/resellers and even those were a small group. I'm checking out the website now.
all: There's something different about the silver proofs. It's about holding it, feeling the weight, seeing the edge, seeing the silver cartwheel effect.
I wish so much that the Mint would would issue uncirculated versions of these. The proof cameo affect is amazing, but to be able to buy a roll of silver quarters is alluring.

I've been looking for an album that includes the W quarters as well as S circulation coins (I have all of them). The CAPS website says the pages have PDSW but then the pics they show don't have the W coins.
Are there any other albums out there will all four?

I believe CAPS are highly customizable, so you can get them with or without the extra slots. I assume the pics are of the former.
I would not expect Dansco to ever offer the option, but they do have blank pages you can use to hold the extra S and W quarters.
