<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1033172, member: 66&quot;]The album is for all the business strikes and the proof ONLY issues.&nbsp; If you look you will see that it does not have two holes for San Francisco in 1968,69, and 70 even though they made both business strikes and proofs with S mintmarks in those years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes there were proof coins from Philadelphia.&nbsp; Philadelphia made proof coins for most years for collectors from 1858 to 1964.&nbsp; As a rule though from 1858 to 1950 they were sold as individual coin not as &quot;sets&quot;.&nbsp; If you wanted say just a 1938 proof jefferson nickel you could buy just the nickel.&nbsp; Beginning in 1950 they changed that and you had to buy the whole set of coins.&nbsp; In 1968 proof coin production moved from Philadelphia to San Francisco.&nbsp; The reason was because San Francisco had been reopened to help with the coin shortage of the Mid 1960&#039;s.&nbsp; Once the shortage was under control wo mints could handle the demand but it would be tight so rather than close San Francisco again they moved much of the collector coinage production there freeing up space and capacity at Philadelphia.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
