Hello all,
I'm updating my dime collection with a new book that starts with 2000 - 2015. There is plenty of blank inserts after 2015, I'm assuming they are P's and D' to present time and probably S's ?

Coin albums such as Dansco and Whitman only project a few years beyond the manufacturing year on modern coin series should a design change occur. Rather than buy new ones every so often most collectors label or write the years/mint marks below the blank holes. Welcome to the forum!

Thanks guys, yes I will pencil in the current dates with no S's. Just a pocket change collector here and if I get lucky to get a S I'll just put it away : )

You have some beautiful coins...
You may want to consider buying coin albums like Dansco, etc.
These albums have clear slides covering the front and back, that slide over and protect the coins from the air, fingerprints etc...
The paper touching the back of the coins in the push in folders will hurt the coins over time...

I would second mtuma's recommendation to store your collection in something other than coin folders. I inherited a number of sets stored in folders like those that were irreparably damaged by the cardboard. As mtuma mentioned, albums are a nice option, as are 2x2s in a 3-ring binder. The latter is cheaper and allows for more customization. Use the CCF search function to look up various storage options and check out the Supplies, Books, Reference, Software, etc forum for more ideas. And lastly,  to the CCF! |

That's a nice looking collection of dimes you've got there.
For the Roosevelt's, there's a couple of ways to go. Some only collect the circulation strikes which for quite some time now are only the P and D mints. Proof coins are struck in San Francisco with an S mint and there's been a W used for West Point as well. So you'd want to decide if you are only doing circulation coins (which I think is how your current book is set up) or an extended set. While it's not impossible to find a proof coin in circulation, it's going to be very very rare.

As already stated, it's best to move your coins from those Folders to Albums. Whitman makes a lot of them too but if you just go to Google and type in Coin Albums, you'll find many other brands.
