5.0 out of 5 stars coin collection books, April 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Washington Quarter Folder 1965-1987 (Official Whitman Coin Folder) (Hardcover)

A great way to keep your collection of change in a handy thin book.Your coins stay in place, and are not easily lost. Most have dates and mint marks, that way you can see what you have or still need. Some books even give a little information on the coins you have. Great for the beginner or exp. person.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good folder, February 8, 2011

I was very dissapointed with how cheaply made this folder is. The holes for the coins are much to small, and when you apply pressure to insert the coins, you end up tearing through the folder. The Whitman folders I purchased years ago are much better than these. I suggest you look for other coin folders. The printing on the cover looks very cheap and is not up to the old Whitman standards either.

1.0 out of 5 stars Whitman don't build them like they used to......, January 29, 2012

This review is from: Washington Quarter Folder 1965-1987 (Official Whitman Coin Folder) (Hardcover)

I purchased two Whitman Washington Quarters 1965-1987 folders to assemble two complete sets of brilliant uncirculated quarters from 1965-1998 (all the clad issues prior to the state quarter series). Obviously, all the coins I wanted to insert in the slots had full, unworn rims. ALL THE SLOTS inside the folders were a smidgeon too small for the quarters. The only way I could get a quarter to stay in each slot was to angle each piece into the slot, lay a quadruple folded towel over each coin, then use a hammer to pound each coin into it's correct space without causing any damage to the coin. The only positive thing to mention is that any quarter in these folders will not be popping out anytime soon! NOTE: I had to do this with EACH and EVERY quarter to assemble these two sets. It was an absolute pain and hassle to say the least. I don't remember my original folders I purchased in the mid-1960's to be anywhere near this difficult to work with. Perhaps a telling sign why these new folders are so flawed is that noted inside the folder are the dreaded words "Made in China". My older Whiltman folders I purchased years ago clearly state they were manufactured in America. Oh, for the good old days......

NOTE: I also needed Whitman folders for Washington Quarters dated 1988 to 1998 to complete these two sets, and purchased two of the "generic" Washington Quarter folders with no dates listed inside. Unlike the problems I had with the 1965-1987 folders as I indicated above, EVERY quarter dated 1988-1998 filled each slot EFFORTLESSLY, with NO multi-folded towel and hammer needed. If looking for Whitman quarter folders that actually have slots that fit the size of the quarter, perhaps these are truly the way to go. Oddly enough, the "generic" Washington quarter folders also state they are manufactured in China. Go figure.
