<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 3347010, member: 27832&quot;]I just came across this in new eBay BIN listings:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Liberty-Nickel-Collection-Vintage-1938-Whitman-Coin-Board-25-Coins-171217-180/223364558874" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Liberty-Nickel-Collection-Vintage-1938-Whitman-Coin-Board-25-Coins-171217-180/223364558874" rel="nofollow">Liberty Nickel Collection-Vintage 1938 Whitman Coin Board-25 Coins (171217-180)</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s much like the standard cardboard Whitman albums, but it&#039;s a single page designed for display. No plastic, just punched cardboard with paper backing.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse includes helpful advice:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]886259[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Suddenly, I&#039;m not so unhappy that the listed board doesn&#039;t contain an 1885, 1886, or 1912-S example. It&#039;s horrible to think of how many perfectly nice coins were intentionally ruined on the basis of this advice.</p><p><br /></p><p>(I&#039;m also guessing that Charles Barber was spinning in his grave over the &quot;Morgan Type&quot; dime, quarter, and half-dollar categories... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: he&#039;s also got a Mercury Dime board listed, and <i>that</i> one does NOT include any advice about cleaning coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
