[QUOTE="TexasTwister, post: 1420567, member: 37455"]Hi everyone, I once was an avid coin collector (as a kid) and did so for years, but haven't for about the last 30 years, so I'm a little naive with regard to "modern" collecting :). Lately, I have been intrigued by the new America the Beautiful quarter program. In particular, I want to build a complete set of the silver proof versions. After some investigation, I think I have settled on an album, the Dansco National Parks Quarter Album #7148 because it has one slot per coin regardless of mint mark. I don't have any experience with Dansco albums, but have heard that they are the best. Do you believe that this album will be safe for my silver, proof quarters? In other words, can I expect no discoloration, etc.? Secondly, I believe that the most economical way to build this set is to buy the complete, US Mint packaged silver proof quarter sets and crack 'em open. It looks like the individual coins in the series go for about $8-9 each where coins in the sets run about $6.50 each. Thanks for your input![/QUOTE]
