Book Description

ISBN-10: 0966796608 | ISBN-13: 978-0966796605 | Publication Date: December 10, 1998

This album is specifically designed to hold the new State Quarters, from 1999-2008. There is space for coins from both Mints, plus duplicates or proofs, for a total of 200 coin pockets. Every detail of the red, white and blue patriotically-themed quarter album has been meticulously considered; from the archival quality plastic sleeves to the educational information for each State, to the 3-ring binder which allows for easy removal or addition of pages. This album combines the fun of collecting with the learning experience of history. It's ideal for the novice collector or the experienced numismatist. A great gift for children and adults as well.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Day Mount Company's primary product is self seal coinholders, which were invented by the late founder. We offer the album as a response to the many customers who requested a way to preserve and protect their commemorative quarter collections. Much research went into the product so that collectors can display their coins in an archivally safe presentation that is accessible and easy to use, with display pages enhanced by companion printed pages that give a little history lesson about each state. We would like to thank the many people who have bought the album and hope that you continue to enjoy collecting the Fifty State Commemorative Quarters.

About the Author

Henry Breit Katz, 1918-2002 Henry B. Katz was a printer and inventor of packaging products. He began his printing career during high school, publishing programs for East Orange (NJ) high school. His first large scale publishing venture was as a Navy Ensign during WWII when he printed maps, and in his spare time, made his mark publishing the humorous story of a newly enlisted Wave (female service person), called Up Came A Ripple. After the war he began various packaging ventures and his lifelong hobby of coin collecting. When he was 70, at a time most people retire, he started another business, based on his love of coins. He began to devote his time to making a coinholder that would preserve his coins from oxidation. He invented a self seal coinholder and the response was tremendous. The Fifty State Commemorative Quarter Album was written in response to the requests from hundreds of customers for a way to organize their collections. Of all the objects Henry B. Katz wrote about, sold, invented or refined, he was proudest of this one because it reflects a uniquely American experience, the story of each state of the Union, distilled into a commemorative quarter coin.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended, December 5, 2001

By 

Doug Swiggett "Doug" (Spring Grove, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fifty State Commemorative Quarter Album (Ring-bound)

One of the first purchases I've ever had to return (...) but this album is of little value. It is comprised primarily of plastic pages that hold 2x2 coin folders into which the coins must be inserted before mounting. They don't mention that these are required but (conveniently!) include an order blank for them. While these are commonly used by coin collectors the beginning collector, who is among the most likely to buy this product, will not likely have them and will be unable to use the album until they are acquired at an additional cost. Not very thoughtful if purchased as a gift! There are several others on the market and any one of them would be a better selection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice album, June 3, 2000

By 

John Mucci (Meredith, New Hampshire) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fifty State Commemorative Quarter Album (Ring-bound)

I think the album is very nice and more than worth the price. It works very well for the 50 state quarters including basic facts about each state. If coin holders were included, it would be perfect. I am not sure what the reviewer Rosi Bohabot is referring to stating that there are only 50 slots. I find that there are plenty of pockets for the 50 state quarters from each mint; 200 as stated in the description.

1.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced and Nothing more then a binder with plastic sleeves, December 18, 2008

This review is from: Fifty State Commemorative Quarter Album (Ring-bound)

This item is nothing more than a cheap binder with plastic sleeves. They do not even provide the 2x2 coin holders for the price. I should have stayed with a Whitman!
