It is just a plastic holder made for coins by Capital Plastics. Looks like this:

 

Capital holders are the hard plastic holders. They are not what the coins originally came in.

 

They were quite popular before the mint began packaging proof sets in hard plastic cases.

 

Also as more people pulled coins from Proof sets , the Capitol holders were a good looking way of putting full sets together wether proof or mint sets . They also gave pretty good protection to the coins .
