Dearborn Moderator United States 96283 Posts	Posted 07/25/2025 08:06 am Yup, I started with Whitman folders too. way back in my childhood (late 60's - early 70's) I have since relocated 'most' of them to my Dansco collection, still have some to relocate at some point. BUT, I still have every one of them old Whitman folders, with no intention of tossing them out. They, by themselves are part of my collection, commemorating my start into coin collecting. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

seamonkey5150 Pillar of the Community United States 901 Posts	Posted 08/01/2025 10:22 am This thread makes me want to start a Whitman US Type 20th and 21st Century Album. I really like the way the coins show in the blue pages. https://goccf.com/t/455164&SearchTerms=type,set Graded Susan B Anthony Set ~ Liberty V/Buffalo Nickels/Mercury Dimes ~ Lincoln Cent 8100/8104 ~ Indian Head Cents 7101 ~ Jefferson Nickels ~ Eisenhower Dollars 8176 ~ Roosevelt Dimes Report this Post to the Staff

Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 1119 Posts	Posted 08/04/2025 05:09 am That looks amazing. I think this is the route that I am going to go also. The Whitman 20th/21st century type set album is definitely a bit more budget friendly IMO. *Dansco 8100 Lincoln cents Liberty "V" nickels Jefferson nickels 1938-current Buffalo nickels Roosevelt Dimes Eisenhower/Anthony dollars** Report this Post to the Staff

For the longest time I wish Dansco offered that as an option, but I am glad they did not. I did enjoy spending nearly thirty years filling the 7070.

Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 1119 Posts	Posted 08/04/2025 09:01 am If I thought there was a customizable way to do it via Dansco, I would. However, there doesn't seem to be. Dansco does make some albums for "general US coins," with dedicated pages for cents, nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars. However, whether they include other denominations or not I'm not entirely sure. That said, it would also be quite challenging trying considering it's a page long type of thing, as opposed to several coins of each type. *Dansco 8100 Lincoln cents Liberty "V" nickels Jefferson nickels 1938-current Buffalo nickels Roosevelt Dimes Eisenhower/Anthony dollars** Edited by Humanist1287 08/04/2025 09:03 am Report this Post to the Staff
