unruhjonny Pillar of the Community Canada 514 Posts	Posted 01/08/2016 1:23 pm Hello! I normally post in another section because I happen to live north of the 49th parallel. ;) I have recently stepped up my fledgling American coin collection, and after a couple visits to state-side book stores, I ended up with the Warman folders (I realize that they are less than perfect, but I think their presentation is alot nicer than the Whitman folders). I now am slightly shifting gears, and am now looking to find a coin folder for indian head pennies; Can anyone tell me (to save me an exhaustive google search) what options I have? Is Whitman the only company to make an Indian Head penny folder? I have a hunch that I'm going to have to convert to the (less attractive) Whitman folders if I want to have the same size/look for my American currency collection - which is unfortunate considering all the Warman folders I've already purchased... (edit) Also, I notice that Whitman offers what appears to be two lines of Lincoln Penny books; one has a brown printed cover, the other has a blue plain cover - what's the difference? (and are these two lines offered for other denominations?) Warman - http://www.shopnumismaster.com/brow...-coin-folder Whitman - https://www.whitman.com/store/Inven...Coin-Folders Thanks sincerely, in advance to any assistance that can be offered. :D Edited by unruhjonny 01/08/2016 1:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/08/2016 1:35 pm I think the blue ones are folders and the brown are albums. For nicer grade coins go with an album. For lower grade coins a folder will do. The best album is a Dansco. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dansco-Albu...AOSwY45UNE0k http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-WHITMAN...AOxyM89ScGTC John1 Edited by John1 01/08/2016 1:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

duncanbishop24 Pillar of the Community United States 898 Posts	Posted 01/08/2016 3:02 pm Actually, the blue vs brown print on the Whitman folders. Here's the scoop: there is no difference. Whitman prints brown "inlay" on some, and silver on others. Personally, my IHC and 1909-1940 both have the "brown" inlay while the other two have the silver. It looks like they have brown on the later lincoln folders now too. Hmm.. I know there is no difference, but just a friendly reminder to make sure your next folder starts where the last one ends because on their site it looks like they have some that 1975-2013 but others that go 1959-1998. Good luck on your collecting. Report this Post to the Staff

Good luck on your collecting. thank you very much! I from my current warman collection, because of overlap ect, I actually have three Lincoln Penny folders - I really like hte presentation & quality of the Warman books, but the lack of common quarter books is annoying, and no IHC book is the death blow... I do have one brown Whitman book, that I bought for my nephew, it's a more modern book (1975-2013), and I have been trying to collect the years/mint marks within that book to gift him it as a puzzle of sorts (I bought it before we pulled the penny from circulation, so I would often come across USA pennies in my change).

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/26/2016 9:08 pm There are plenty of used Whitmans, Danscos, and older Library of Coins as well to be found on ebay, often in good shape and quite a bit less expensive than buying new.
