The collector's book has holes the size of the coins cut out, with labels under every hole with the specific year, mint, and sometimes other information about the coin for the hole. I have found it very hard to keep a collection of circulating coins without whitman portfolios.

I took off a star because of two flaws in its design. Most importantly, the backing is very thin, and clearly shows every coin you've pressed into the other side. Also, the coins stay in place by pressing the surrounding posterboard outwards. That means that the force used to put the coin into the book is far more than the force holding it in, and it cane sometimes be a struggle to get a coin to fit.

This book offers housing for all half dollars from the year 1964 - 1985. Overall, a good holder for the average collector, but does not offer protection from dust and elements in the air.

As a long time coin collector, these folders are a great way to keep my coins organized. In addition there is a certain thrill seeing a folder fill up; letting me know I have completed my collection.

This coin folder for half dollars is much like every other coin folder Whitman makes. It holds a specific type of coin, and has openings to fit one from each of a number of years. The coins snap into place quite nicely, and can be removed if desired without too much effort. This is an economical product for a coin hobbyist, and looks rather nice on a bookshelf.

I have noticed that the slots on the half dollar folders are a bit looser than the slots for other coin denominations. The coins still stay in the folder fairly well as long as the reeded edges are in good shape, but it's something to be careful about. I don't think this minor shortcoming is enough to be worth trying a different brand if you already have a number of other Whitman coin folders.

Flimsy. Coins almost impossible to insert into the holes. No cover
over front of coins. Cannot see backs of coins. Find another
option for your coins. I gave this one star but that was
too generous.
