<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jackhd, post: 2437403, member: 73897&quot;]Anyone who reads sarcasm into an honest reply, is someone looking for it. There was no sarcasm intended, merely a request for information. As for being new, I&#039;m not. There are early Proof Jefferson Nickels that are not unreasonably priced ( 50s, and 60s). Certainly, the closer you get to 1938, the rarity and corresponding prices do increase.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tom - I appreciate the time you&#039;ve taken to look into this question and I think your last post is probably the best answer. Ultimately, I&#039;ll either go with the blank album and foil dates, or, as Lon suggested, replace my current BU P-Mint issues with Proofs as I am able. I suppose I could even use the foil (on the blank pages) to indicate that the P-Mint issues are Proofs, that actually might look pretty good. Also, I&#039;m certain you are correct suggesting that the earliest proofs, of high value, should probably not placed in an album, but something more secure. That makes sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>SuperDave - After re-reading your reply, the light bulb finally went off in my brain and I realized what you were saying. It&#039;s a very good explanation for the term &quot;Including Proof Only Issues&quot;, that I didn&#039;t fully understand before. Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>The OP was an inquiry into what others have done to accommodate early Jefferson Proofs (before 1971), and to see if there was a definitive reason why they aren&#039;t included by the major Album manufacturers. I appreciate everyone&#039;s input and willingness to take the time to help. Jack[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
