jbuck Moderator United States 188770 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 3:34 pm Albums are always best, but folders are still fun. I think they are the best for YNs to test the collecting waters. They certainly helped me get started. Plus, there is nothing like the feeling you get when you graduate from folders to albums and moving everything over.

I recently just moved to albums and I like them much better. Plus putting coins in albums is a lot easier on the thumbs. Report this Post to the Staff
ljenkins990 Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 5:31 pm My coin collection got started when my grandfather gave me a bunch of LWCs and 2 Whitman cent folders (1909-1940 and 1941-1974) to put them in. Never looked back. I accumulated a lot of Whitman folders over the years before I eventually graduated to Dansco albums. I still have them, some of them I've "re-filled" with coins pulled from circulation just for the fun of it. I hope to pass them down to the grandkids someday. Report this Post to the Staff

All of my folders are tucked away with a few duplicates in them. I look at them occasionally for nostalgia and the coins seem to be doing just fine.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/23/2015 11:35 am The best thing about a Folder is the price. Not even close to what almost any Album costs. Report this Post to the Staff

Plus, buying them albums later is a great gift idea.
