<p>[QUOTE=&quot;harley bissell, post: 3254159, member: 88212&quot;]Every folder with the end flap shows the copyright date. Some titles were last printed in 1964. Some of those long out of print folders were recently reprinted.</p><p>The reprint folders usually have a line drawing of the coin on the cover. Folders</p><p>used to tone high grade copper coins. Silver coins will tarnish whenever they are</p><p>in contact with wood pulp due to the sulfur contact. Folders are excellent for</p><p>holding circulated coins. I doubt even the slab lovers would be willing to slab circulated one dollar coins. If you want be all end all storage for your coins buy the archival quality albums from places like Littleton. Then you can house your four dollar Second or Third Lincoln set in a $40 holder. The original retail price of those Whitman folders was 19 cents. The current retail price is about $5 with ample supplies of used folders on the secondary market. You get what you pay for. For the OP and anyone else who wants to clean coins I recommend that you examine them closely first. I have found high dollar varieties in high grades of tarnished coins. Several of my 1944-D/S cents were rejected by the seller for minute carbon spots and ever examined by him. His prejudice against non perfect coins easily cost him $1500.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
