Proofs & Cameo Question

Hi Sheepy

I think you did well on the cost,, of both coins,,

I would have to see the Franklin in hand to get a feel for the contrast and amount of frosting exhibited by the design to know if it would make cameo or not, but the cost is still well within reason.

The same would apply to the Kennedy,its definitly cameo but to know if it makes Deep cameo is hard to tell from pics.

They are really nice looking coins !!

Suggest any coins such as those leave in cardboard 2x2's. Get a standard 3 ring notebook binder about 3 or 4 inched thick. Buy those plastic pages that hold about 20 of the 2x2's. Then buy Divider pages. Whole thing should only cost about $20 but will make a fantastic display type album and the coins will stay very safe. If you go to coin shows you'll notice abaout half the dealers use this system. You can use the divider sheets to tabulate what is on what page. As to programs for coins, I suggest just using Excel. Reason is you can add columns as you feel is needed. You can hide columns or rows as you feel is required. Primarily you can usually copy the entire thing onto a 3 1/2 disc, CD, Flash card or what ever and then go to another computer and continue viewing your info. That is if the other computer has Microsoft Office which nowadays I think most do. I've made such spread sheets for All Coins, Albums, Rolls, 2x2's and on and on and on. I print it all out and keep for insurance purposes also. If you have your collection insured, you may want to give your insurance agent a 3 1/2 disc with this info on it just in case.

The coins I have which are of that quality are placed in airtites. I feel completely confident that they are well protected. Then, one of these days I'll see about buying some pages the airtites will fit into.

By the way, my wife just bought a gold Panda, and it now resides in an airtite.
