<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ratio411, post: 1132022, member: 26729&quot;]I use the Dansco albums and slip-cases.</p><p>They are a nice compromise between folders, where you can only see one side of the coin, more expensive slabs/containers, or plain old 2x2 cardboard. You have a nice album, can see the entire coin, it is well protected, and while the albums cost more than folders, once you have the album, you have a home for one entire set that will last a lifetime.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I get mine from <a href="http://shop.ebay.com/hobbysuppliesco/m.html?_nkw=&amp;_armrs=1&amp;_from=&amp;_ipg=&amp;_trksid=p3686" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://shop.ebay.com/hobbysuppliesco/m.html?_nkw=&amp;_armrs=1&amp;_from=&amp;_ipg=&amp;_trksid=p3686" rel="nofollow">http://shop.ebay.com/hobbysuppliesco/m.html?_nkw=&amp;_armrs=1&amp;_from=&amp;_ipg=&amp;_trksid=p3686</a> because I have gotten great service and price. I am up to about 15 Danscos now... My ASE set has been in a Dansco for a few years now, and I have noticed no strange toning or adverse affects on the coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That is my opinion... worth what you paid for it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Oh, and for the proofs...</p><p>I started out with non-proof Danscos.</p><p>I felt like you... &#039;why open up every proof set from 1968 to date?&#039;...</p><p>Eventually I went with proof books because I had many of the sets already, and time is showing that the mint packaging is not good for the coins like was assumed not long ago. Most proof sets you find from the 60s-70s, the coins are getting cloudy and discolored, as well as early 80s sets. So maybe the mint plastic is not the best place??? I converted to proof books and cracked open my sets.</p><p>I passed my non-proof books to my son, but could have sold them for a couple bux otherwise.</p><p>I suggest starting with the non-proof books if you aren&#039;t sure. You can always change later.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
