Not a coin, but a piece of numismatic history

Not too long ago I grabbed this old Whitman folder from my LCS, which gives out these old folders for free. This album, made in early 1964, was made before the Coinage Act that year and the switch to clad coinage, in addition to the omission of mintmarks 1965-67. Whitman predicted a 1965-D nickel, but no such nickel came to exist...

I've had one of those folders since I was a kid........

 

I know I have dime folders with a 1965-D slot, and maybe one for cents, but I don't think I've seen a nickel folder with it. Anybody seen quarters? Or a 1963 Franklin folder with a 1964 slot?

 

Pretty cool. I have an unused Whitman cent album from my grandfather. I'd have likely given it away by now but the mintages are blank from 1981 onward. Because of this I think it's cool and obviously denotes that it is vintage.

 

The classic coinage folders for 1800's coins are quite pricey if you can even find them. Sometimes the "Nickel Trader" who advertises in Numismatic News has them. Many are collectible in their own right.

 

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

 

Nice folder! Thanks for sharing!!

 

I have a lincoln cents album Copyright 1960 and ends at 1965 D which never happened
( one of the thick whitman ones with the plastic slides over the coin)

 

Chief Coin and Supply has a lot of folders and albums too.

 

I have a Library of Coins Franklin album that goes to 1970 with P and D slots.

 

same here

 

Oh yeah. Jeffersons of old Window album displays obverse only

 

And when I was a kid

 

I think David Waterstraats Franklin album would be interesting to see.

 

I'll post the images when I return home this evening.

Perhaps the Moonlight mint could make some.
