Stephen Z Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 09/29/2015 3:55 pm I bought the 3 Harris folders for Sacagawea dollars. Kind of interesting, they are very spacious pages, with only 4 ports on most pages--in the first two folders. There is a decorative background. Then, figuring the series was going to stick around, in the 3rd folder they put lots of ports on every page. The most interesting thing, though, was that folder 2 has slots for 2009 P and D, and folder 3 does too. So if I don't want empty slots, I have to get two of each 2009. BTW I know many folks on coincommunity dislike folders, and I wouldn't use them for pricey coins. I was raised with folders and have always liked them. The Harris folks, BTW, in folders 1 and 2 have a slot to use to show the reverse design. Folder 3 does not, so I am putting the P coins showing the obverse and the D coins showing the reverse (different design each year). * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

I am missing some holes form the "free" Littleton folder I got with my 2009~2012 SAC/NA P&D set from them. (I just really wanted the one with the horse and I got a free set of 2009 cents also). I think I have made a roll each of 2010 & 2011 mixed mintmarks but still short a few on 2009. Like other 2009 coins they seem to be hoarded, but not impossible to fill the holes with if you MUST have those coins in them. If you don't want to chase down 2009 SACs and jsut want to fill the holes, you can stick an obverse and reverse of SBA in and have the holes filled. You would think by now someone would make and sell plugs for folders so they don't have those hoes IF the person using the folder doesn't have the same idea as the one who made them about filling ALL those years since 2009 isn't even an SAC, but an NA dollar!

Stephen Z Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 09/30/2015 06:12 am Great idea about selling plugs for albums and folders! Now that I think of it, some Whitman folders come with a cardboard plug for "rare" dates. For instance, cents and Half Cents of British North America, there is a removable cardboard disk for New Brunswick Half Cent 1861. Report this Post to the Staff
Stephen Z Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 09/30/2015 06:13 am Oh, one more thing about the Native American dollars--because the date and mintmarks are on the coins' edges, once it is in the album or folder you can't tell if the right dates are in the right slot--you have to remove the coin to check.

shadz Pillar of the Community 1325 Posts	Posted 09/30/2015 12:31 pm Yeah it was a pretty dumb idea by the mint and cause a religious uproaring of some sort when people first saw them and called them "godless dollars" or something. so Mint or Congress really shouldnt be allowed to design things, whoever it was that came up with the idea, or at least should have learned a little bit about coins. That is why I have a single coin for each year Pre$ folder since you will never be able to see the mintmark again. That's why I use folders, since I collect for myself. I don't have to prove what coins I have to anyone, I know what I put in the folder; who cares what other people thinks. It is th same for older coins also with the mint mark on the back and date on the front. To me it seems like something made just for the grading companies to be able to design some new "technology" for slabs, like the State Quarters and ATB were just an excuse for people like Whitman to create a new album/folder to be able to sell more of the specialized collector items for the special "set" of coins.
