This is a coin album for collecting the new Sacagawea gold-colored dollar which the US Mint began issuing in 2000. On the first page of this two page binder are cut out holes or ports with three holes per line, one line for each of 2000, 2001 and 2002. The three holes per line are for the dollars minted at the three mints--Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco. The second page also has the same nine holes but without any dates printed, probably because the US Mint may decide not to mint any of these dollars after 2002. Each line of holes on each page has a clear plastic slide piece which is gently pushed (assembly by buyer) over and under each coin line to cover the coins, front and back, and keep out dust, dirt and corrosion, at least to some degree. Having fifteen of these clear plastic slide, coin-covering albums, I would rank this one on a par with the best in workmanship and layout. There is no doubt in my mind that these albums do protect and display collector coins much better than the older folders in which coins are pressed down into coin holes. Whitman has had a strong reputation for several decades in the production of reliable and attractive coin albums. This Sacagawea dollar album is their latest contribution to their extended history of valuable coin collecting materials.
