<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kentucky, post: 24838237, member: 33176&quot;]Welcome to coin collecting and to CT.&nbsp; Coin albums are usually for circulating coins.&nbsp; Proofs are coins made by the mints as a specialty item for collectors and are not meant for circulation.&nbsp; Proof coins have a REALLY strong strike and show all details very clearly.&nbsp; On most proofs, the background or field is usually a mirror that you can see your reflection in.&nbsp; Proof coins should be handled very carefully and you should never touch the surfaces (or with other coins too).&nbsp; Proofs usually stay sealed in some manner.&nbsp; You really should get a Red Book as [USER=74863]@Collecting Nut[/USER] advises.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
