<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24838298, member: 101855&quot;]My advice is to avoid storing Proof coins in most albums, especially the ones made of cardboard with sliding windows. Proof coins are delicate and are easily damaged by the atmosphere and chemicals from the albums. It’s also easy to put marks on the coins with plastic slides as you pull them in and out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Certification holders (slabs) and hard plastic holders, like Capital Plastics products, are the best for Proof coins. Proofs are a joy to view, but you should avoid handling them as much as possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have all of the Proof Franklin Half Dollars, but they are Proof sets. The mint issued flat packs from mid 1955 to ‘63 have held up well. The sets in the boxes (1950 to mid 1955) are tricker.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
