The new Statehood Quarters folder is a great way to store the new "50 States Quarters". The new quarters have got me interested in collecting coins again after many years! This folder is a great idea for a Christmas gift for both new and veteran coin collectors.

This is an exceptional bargain as well as a great way to save the statehood quarters. There is a slot for each of the first ten quarters produced at both the Denver Mint and the Philadelphia Mint.

Having never collected coins before, I had a bit of a problem getting the quarters to stay in their slots. But if you press firmly in the center of the quarter then press firmly along the circumference of the quarter, the quarters will stay snug.

I am ordering three more of the first sets for my nieces and nephew. And I plan to order the others in the statehood series to present to them as a graduation present from high school as a token of the turn of the century.

This folder is good for the adult collector, but I would not recommend it for younger persons. It is nice that there are slots for both the Philadelphia and Denver mints. However, this folder contains absolutely no information about the individual designs of the state quarters. One of the most interesting things about collecting these quarters is learning the history behind the state designs. In comparison to other state quarter collection books, this folder is bland.

I was disappointed with this folder. I have become interested in collecting the Statehood Quarters and wanted a folder in which to keep them as they are issued. However, with this folder it is necessary to collect quarters from both the Denver and Philadelphia mints - something I was not interested in doing. Unfortunately, unless you collect both sets, half of the folder is left empty. I wish they would have made separate folders for each mint instead of combining them as they have.

This folder is fantastic... with one exception: I can't locate a copy of book #2. Who wants to collect only books 1 and 3? Do not buy this book unless you have already located the subsequent folders.

If you truly want to collect these coins you ought to have representatives of each mint. Besides, it adds to the challenge of collecting. I live in the North East and rarely find a coin from Denver. But when I do it's a gem! These books are very simple, as is with all Whitman coin folders. It keeps the coins neatly in place for safe keeping and future viewing. If these are the qualities you're looking for, then this is the folder to buy.

The book is great. Thought I was getting all fifty states but that is another book series. Delivery was fast and quality good.
