I think you can get just a blank whitman folder, and put them in however you please.

Here you go, not an album, but might be close to what you are looking for.

thanks but i dont know what to fill the remaining 40 spaces with

 

I think it'll hold 90.

they have sheets that you can put 2x2's in....

I have plenty, so if you need any PM me

 

You said an album with slots for all the 50 years of wheats with all the mint marks. 50 years times 3 mintmarks (p, d, s) = 150. That folder holds 90 coins so I dont think you will have to worry about any remaining spaces =P

 

he said without, so I'm assuming 50,

 

Oh hehe yeah he did. Well ignore me until i learn to read =P

 

There are coin " boards " that hold 1 each year from 09-58, I have one somewhere, they are suitable for framing and make a neat wall hanging. I THINK mine is an old Whitman, not sure

 

where did you get it?

 

Check with Whitman Publishing. They used to carry thier Classic Album covers where you could add all the pages you want. The Album Covers are blank and you then purchase the blank cent pages. The only thing on the blank pages are at the top and they say Cents. Then Whitman sells sheets of press on Gold Lettering and numbers for those Blank covers and pages. You simply have to spend a little time pressing on what ever you want whereever you want it. I used the blank pages to add to my existing albums for many years now. When I started many of my albums they only covered the latest dates. For example all my Lincoln Albums stopped at about 1982 so I've been adding those blank pages for Cents now to make all my Albums read from 09 to present. I made one album of Mercury Dimes and added several pages for the contination with Roosevelt Dimes. My next venture will be a Liberty Head/ Mercury Head/Roosevelt Dime Album.
I am going to check with Whitman again soon to see if they have an Album Cover that will hold about 100 pages.

 

OK, thanks, I'll do some more research. I think they might have some blank albums/pages at my local coin shop.

 

i found one on ebay for $22 and asked if it had all the mintmarks but he hasn't responed yet

 

Wow $22 for a coin folder? I bought 3 Lincoln Folders yesterday (1909-1940, 1940-1974, 1975-Present) with all the years, dates and major varieties for only $2.50 each.

 

I think he means albums, but that still is about $5 overpriced

 

I got a blank Whitman folder and filled up the extra spaces with 1959-1998. Worked out well. It was only $3.

 

Please note there is a fantastic difference between a coin folder and a coin album. The albums are where you can see both sides of a coin. The folders are just push in place, paper backed cardboard with slots. A folder for long term storage of coins if not a good idea. The process to make them is to put glue on a sheet of paper, place the slotted cardboard on that, allow to dry and you have the folder. Note if you look in the empty slot it is usually shinny. This is the glue from that process. Kids like that since if a coin is well worn, it would fall out so kids spit on the back of the coin, place it into the slot and the glue now holds it in place. Of course that glue is not great for coins.

 

Hi Carl,
You are such a great source of information.
I never even thought of gluing the worn coins into the holes of those kind of albums.
Wow, now I can use this method of securing the coins in those albums... :whistle:

Oh, maybe that is also why I get some circulated coins that have glue only on the back.

Cents and glue nonsense

Since we are talking about coins and glue, I just gotta related this story about a payback between a couple of fellas.
My hubby and I were at a gig way up in the mountains in central CA.
We spent an evening with one of the residents after the gig. He had a nice A-frame cabin with very tall ceilings.
Across about 20' of wall, and about 5' high was a big piece of paper with the words "Here is the five dollars I owe you" spelled out in Lincoln cents which were glued to the paper.
