CRH and Dansco Books

[FreedomUIC]

I have filled my Kennedy half book now and am on to other things. I wanted an opinion on something I have thought about
for awhile. I have a Dansco of ASE's filled including the 2011. What about a Dansco album with "Proof" ASE's. I would keep all the boxes and certs, but the album would be filled with Proofs.

What do you all think?

I like Dansco's personally. A bit expensive but in my opinion there is no better presentation. The problem with the proof ASE's is the mints decision to not make them in 2009. Now everyone has a nice big hole for that year....

I noticed that right away when I purchased my first three proofs. So you don't see a problem putting proof ASE's in a Dansco book as long as you keep the boxes and certs? I am really on the fence about this, but I believe a book of Proofs would be absolutely gorgeous to look at.

I once had a Dansco book for Mexican Libertads. The coins did tend to tone inside the album over time. I would assume your ASE proof coins would do the same, unless they are in some kind of plastic capsule. I cannot remember if the proof ASEs come from the mint in a capsule of some kind? If they are then they should not tone inside the album I would think. And you can always take them out and put them back in the original boxes if you want to sell them.

I personally only would recommend Intercept Shield Albums, if you insist on an album display. I would leave them in the mint air-tite capsules and display them in a curio cabinet with lighting. Intercept Shield albums have the same rigid quality as a Dansco album but contain chemicals in the "paper" fibers that prohibit the reaction of sulfur with your coins eliminating the "toning" that Jim described above.

Yes, they are encapsulated, I am not certain if the capsule will fit in the album or not, the normal Eagles are a tight fit without it. I do know that I am going to have to wear white gloves when I do transfer them, I don't want to risk fingerprints on them.

Can you point me in the right direction concerning the album you are referring to? I have not heard of them before and they sound
intriguing to me.

I have used the 2 X 2 intercept shield holders before with gold coins and they are good.

Here is their website.

Sorry to mislead you in my original post. The "leaving in the air-tite capsule" option was not to put them in the album. If you want the album option, look up Wizard Coin Supply. Displaying ASE proofs in their air-tite independently in a curio cabinet would be a better option. Store the packaging/certs, and show the coins as they are meant to be seen.

 

[Hi Ho Silver!]

I would NEVER take Silver Proofs out of the US Mint Packaging (if we are talking about them). There is no reason uless you are slabbing them in a PCGS holder. I can see placing bullion ASE in a binder.

I prefered Rainbow toned ASE's myself so I'm not into protecting them and getting them encapsulated.. Rainbow toners go for moon money.

I am referring to proofs not your normal everyday ASE.
