anyone know when Whitman will come out with an updated folder to include the mintage numbers for 2013? I just went through rolls to fill 1998-2013 and they have been sitting on the table for some time. might have to bag them up and wait a year to put them in a folder...

A simple but expensive solution is do as I do. I use Whitman Albums and just keep adding pages. Now up to ten pages for everything from 1909 to present and also all the 2009's.

Most of us will argue that you should put them in albums vs. folders anyway, and just carl's suggestion is a good one. You can make your own labels as well.
Did you mean "dates" by "mintage numbers"? The two are quite different.

Folders are good for lower value stuff you pull out of circulation, like pennies. I wouldn't want to spend $30 on a cents album to hold coins worth about $5 in total.

Well still, it's not like modern pennies are ever going to be worth more than maybe 50 cents each since billions were minted. So I wouldn't worry about the pros and cons of folder vs album. The Harris branded folder (owned by whitman) goes through 2013 and has dates and mintage figures: https://www.whitman.com/store/Inven...er-1975-2013 |

They sold to their emplyees that in turn sold to Harris. Now Harris owns Whitman, Harris and US Mint products. I've found if you go to a coin show or coin store and ask about used Albums, some will just give them to you. At coin shows I've at times acquired as many as 70 Folders and Albums and all free. Most dealers buy Albums of Folders of coins. They then take them out and place in separate flips. Most I've talked to just throw out the Albums and Folders. If you ASK, you too may get them free. For any blank pages you put in an Album, Whitman sells press on Numbers/letters on sheets. |

Now Harris owns Whitman, Harris and US Mint products. True, but Harris took the Whitman name for its corporate identity (Whitman Publishing). |

It's a matter of preference, I suppose. If you don't care about presentation you could just put them in an Altoids tin. As has been mentioned, if you know where to look you can pick up used albums on the cheap. Also Hobby Lobby has new Whitman albums sometimes at 50% off, and if not, you can always use the 40% coupon. That's what I use for my circulation finds and probably didn't spend more than 8 or 9 bucks. |
