Gyrene. Look very closely at the edges of holders with the smaller fasteners. Whitman hot stamped their logo on the edge. A circle enclosing a W.

Here's an interesting holder that I found at a flea market. According to Wikipedia, Mr. Mann was a very popular mayor and introduced minor league baseball to the city of Alexandria, VA, but that's all I know about this personalized mint set. I wonder if the coin club regularly presented these coins to dignitaries. Perhaps someone from the Alexandria Coin Club can shed some light on this.  |

And here's a couple more interesting holders, which I believe are Capital Plastics. The bullion coins are all 1992, while the Valentine coin is a proof 1997 Botanic Garden Commemorative Dollar. Sorry about the blurry images, but these images are from a scanner and the surface of the holder sits slightly above the scanner table because of the thick plastic screws on the holder.   |

Earle42 Niice! Did you do any others? Apologies that I did not see this a lot sooner. Yes, I have another one that is a bit more square and has some JFKs with Franklins in it. I am hoping to make some thinner ones that will take the place of albums pages and put them in a 3-Ring or other custom binder I make.

How tightly do the coins fit into the various holes in this holders?
I have a set of 2015 Gold Eagles (all 4 denominations) that I need a holder for. Do the coins fit snugly in these and is it difficult to remove them once inserted?

With the Capital Plastics holders, sometimes the coins fit a little too snugly, requiring you to get out a pair of scissors and shave off some slivers of plastic in order to widen the hole. This of course presents the unfortunate opportunity for you to cut your finger on the open scissor blades. Have fun! |

Admittedly this is the first time I have ever felt a yearn to assemble a set of these (though I likely have most except the 1981 issues). They look very sharp in those holders. I really like the blue one - it looks amazing! May we see the flip side to see the Eagles and Moon all lined up also? Please don't find a holder like this for the Presidential dollar series or I will also be shooting myself for never picking up all of those either  How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Earle, I scanned the reverse of the blue holder, but the close-up made the coin images blurry (because the plastic screws don't allow the frame to lay flush against the scanner screen).  |

While I'm on a roll here, I'll post an image of the largest Capital Plastics holder I have, which measures 8 x 14 inches. It contains the US Commemoratives from 1982 to 1989. This holder wouldn't fit on my scanner bed, so I took a photo of it (sorry for the lack of detail and the glare from the flash). The coins include the Washington, Statue of Liberty and Congressional half dollars in unc & proof; along with the silver dollars of the '83/84 Olympics, Statue of Liberty, Constitution, '88 Olympics, and Congressional. I also included a closer image of the top of the set, just showing the halves and the discus dollars. The original price of this holder (without the coins, of course) was $59.95, according to the sticker on the box, but I'm sure I didn't pay that much for it.   |
