[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 936789, member: 15309"]I don't have a Dansco album for Washington Quarters but I very much doubt if there is an extra hole for the early proofs. Usually albums will have a space for "proof only" issues. From 1968-present, there would be a space for the P&D (business strikes) and one for the S (proof only).

My comment about the redbook was that if you had read it you would know that the proof coins in 1936 were minted in Philadelphia, not San Francisco. The redbook won't help you, but your eyes will. The 1992-S Proof is a clad coin and will have a clad layer that can be seen easily be examining the edge of the coin.[/QUOTE]
