As a kid, I was very clever. It was the only way to keep the coins in the folder.  I will admit that I used double-stick tape in my first half dollar folder.   |

I think it had more to do with available materials than being clever. |

When I was a kid I could only afford the cheap .35 cent Whitmans and Dansco folders.
My Canadian nickel set rusted the steel nickels and most were BU. I learned the lesson about good Albums before I put any good coins in them

Don't feel bad, it could be worse. This is how many of us started out. - USSID18 I love your Whitman folder! I still have my first Whitman cent folder, but it's a little newer than your since it has spaces labeled to 1966. I bought it in 1965 (I think) when I was 7. I wasn't as clever as the rest of you guys. It never occurred to me to tape the coins in place. |

I wasn't as clever as the rest of you guys. It never occurred to me to tape the coins in place. I know. I think we're singing the same song here. I was probably 7 or 10 myself. I can't begin to explain my logic back then. I probably thought it was cool! You can see my 7 or 10 year old handwriting. |

I still have my first Whitman cent folder, I still have all of my Whitman folders in storage. There are even some coins in them. I really need to get them out to see how they have held up.  |

jbuck: Please post some photos of your original Whitman folders. That would be a lot of fun to see.
