Whitman Coin Folders, the industry standard in coin housing, offers another solid coin folder designed to house Eisenhower Dollars from 1971-1978 and Susan B. Anthony Dollars from 1979-1981. Be warned, that the book does not include the latest information on the 1999 release of the Anthony dollars, however, there is space in the book to write them in.

I've been collecting circulated coins since I was a child. One day my dad took me to the department store and we bought a series of Whitman coin folders.

The Eisenhower-Anthony Dollars coin folder has plenty of slots to keep every major variation of the circulated sets of both dollars. The book is identical in size and design as the majority of their coin folders, meaning it will look great next to your other coin books.

On this particular book, there are 6 extra slots for the Eisenhower dollars (one of my favorite coins) where you can show the reverses (which in case you are unfamiliar with these coins there are two major reverses: (1) an Apollo 9 patch design, and (2) a bicentennial design. There is a single extra slot for the Susan B. Anthony dollars, but fortunately the Anthony dollar one has one reverse.

The folder also has a fairly complete (and interesting) history of both dollars. My version of the folder actually includes updated circulation amounts for all the coins, including the 1999 Anthony dollars.

My suggestion is that this gift would be perfect for a child who is having visits from the tooth fairy. The fairy could easily buy some Ikes and Anthony dollars in anticipation of future tooth business. And then the next morning you can collect the fairy's gifts with your child.

While this folder has great eye appeal, I was not impressed when I attempted to press the coins into this folder. The Eisenhower coins really did not fit, and had to be shoved and worked in, then the backing fell away from the insert and had to be re-glued together. Maybe if you be sure to place book on hard flat surface, you can shove them in with minimal damage to folder or coin. maybe the H. E. Harris version is better quality?
