My Jefferson nickel intercept shield album has slots for 1969S and 1970S but no separate slots for 69S proof and 70S proof. Was the S mint considered proof? Moving down to 1970 years the slots are marked S Proof but not the above mentioned 2 years.

Thank you

They made both proof and business strike those years. I just used the left side of page and clicked on Coin Facts.

The albums have a shortcoming when there are two versions of a coins (business strike and proof) at the same mint in a year. The Lincoln cents have the same issue 1968 to 1974.

You will notice that Dansco labels the albums as "including proof-only issues," which is to say, it has holes for years in which said mint only issued a proof coin. This is also why you almost never see holes for 1964 and earlier proofs in the albums, as Philly minted both each year back then.

The way to overcome this is up to you. Extra pages without labeling a available to hold the "duplicate" dates. You can also choose one strike type over the other if that suits you.

Thank you for responding.

I've ended up with both proofs but not the business strike. Maybe I'll just include that and mark it on the page.

Also have large date and small date for the '70S, so you need 4 slots if you want them all in there.

Which is why I had to buy an extra 'blank' page for my Dansco album for the 'homeless' proofs.

I made my own labels for the extra page and placed it at the end of the album. Not much more you can do...

Sooner or later I'll be filling in the empty holes with the proofs as indicated.

It takes a little planning to extend your albums to accommodate all the coins you wish to collect and present.

The 2009s threw many a curve when albums had pre-printed dates.

My Dansco 8100 ends at 2007-S Proof (last full page). I started a custom album for 2008+ cents using blank pages.
