I guess when they went through the process of making that folder, nowhere down the line did anyone say "hmm, 1936 dot only has 5 known, maybe we shouldn't include it?" I guess they figured 5 lucky people would be more then happy to push those 1936 dots in with their thumbs to complete the set.  I suppose not. I am at least happy that they have plugged it. I have the 50 cent folder as well and they plugged the 1921 slot but unfortunately the 5 cent folder does not have a plug for the 21', and as bad as I would feel about having that empty space I am sure if I ever own one of those I will not be pushing into that hole.

I have a fairly good start on the NFLD 1-cent coins, those pre 1900 ones can be a bit hard to find though. I haven't picked up any NFLD Whitman folders yet as I believe they stopped making them so I will have to find some of the vintage ones at some point. In the meantime I am in no short supply of other Whitman folders to fill so I will probably try switching over to the US side of things and work on my Franklin half set, I am getting close on that as well.   |

So where do you put your Canada dollars, between 1984 and 1987?

That shelf looks a little bent. Very bent haha. I am far under what the packaging specified for weight limit per shelf but it still ended up bending quite a bit. The entire shelving unit is actually leaning about 5 degrees away from the wall, I am looking at getting a more sturdy one as soon as I find one that will fit (and hopefully before this one falls on top of me).

My nickel dollar Whitman folder says it goes from 68-84 on the spine but the inside has printed spots for up to 86 and then 3 blank spaces at the end. So I used one for the 87 and then the final two spaces I used for obverses (one regular and one for the 1982 Constitution dollar).  |

SolarPenny, the photos of your collection are truly impressive to see. So very compact and conveniently arranged, all stored in a similar manner......(unlike the disorganized clutter that some of us would be too embarrassed to photograph, happens to include me:-) Thanks for sharing!  |

I'm very glad you were able to finish your 'penny' set, but I am curious about something: What did you put in all the "P" holes for 2007-up? Also, my Whitman (newer version) has four holes for 2006. I am close to finishing myself (need the 1985 pointed and 2010 steel), and after seeing your Newfoundland cents, I might try them too! Of course, I've also thought hard about starting and completing a Prince Edward Island set also! I'm sure it would make a very unusual folder/album. Edited by atticguy

I am close to finishing myself (need the 1985 pointed and 2010 steel), and after seeing your Newfoundland cents, I might try them too! Of course, I've also thought hard about starting and completing a Prince Edward Island set also! I'm sure it would make a very unusual folder/album. From what I understand the P ones were magnetic (copper-plated steel) and the non-P ones were non-magnetic (copper-plated zinc). For 2007 there are both kinds, the zinc one is much harder to find. For 2008 they didn't make any non-magnetic ones so I put one in from a proof set (since they are non-magnetic although made from copper and not zinc I think). 2009 they made both kinds, 2010 they didn't make a magnetic one for circulation (from everything I've read, I could be wrong) so I got one from a broken up uncirculated set (I think these were still made from copper-plated steel and not just copper) as it is magnetic. Then for 2011 and 2012 they have both types in circulation. Does the newer Whitman folder have spots for these still? I was wondering if they were going to make changes to the version I have, as it only has 3 spots for 2003 (missing a spot for the 2003P Uncrowned which is just sitting in a 2x2). For the 2006 varieties which 4 does your folder list? I still am unsure about the different kinds for this one, I thought there may have been 6 (L is for RCM logo): 2006 magnetic 2006P magnetic 2006L magnetic (have) 2006 non-magnetic (have) 2006P non-magnetic 2006L non-magnetic (have) What other coins would be included in a PEI set? I only have the 1871 1 cent coin. Quote:

Right now I am missing many of the ones pre 1900, I have a few other folders where I am just a few coins away from completing that I think I want to finish up first. |

I'm the same way, I usually like to focus on one denomination/type at a time as well, unless of course there's a great deal to be had! As far as your list of 2006 Cents goes, you are correct, there are 6 varieties of this coin, but keep in mind that the last 2006P non-magnetic went for something over $3000 on ebay (not a typo... Ignore the book value on this one!) a couple of months back, and they are very seldomly offered... Best of luck with that one! |
