<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7390132, member: 105098&quot;]if the information page is still there, there&#039;s a copyright, and it&#039;s what I go by, like&nbsp; the earlier folders stop early though on labeled holes, since jeffersons start in 1938, it&#039;s a good bet it&#039;s likely the 1940 copyright one and it only goes a few years in advance, but I don&#039;t have one to compare it to to be sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know the 1952 copyright Jeff nickels folder stopped at 1960 D with two spots that weren&#039;t dated left in the folder. theres one that stops at 1959. and </p><p><br /></p><p>About the only thing I find consistent is the folder numbers, they have tones of copyright dates, I think there&#039;s ones for every year til the 1960s. the folders labeled spaces changed from year to year. Like the 9009 folder for jefferson nickels is going to say &quot;Jefferson Nickels starting at 1938&quot; but you&#039;d need to open it to see the copyright and how many of the spots were labeled for that version and I don&#039;t know if the copyright even really helps all that much.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think they started these type of folders in 1940, and were doing one piece boards before that.</p><p><br /></p><p>The roosevelt dime one I posted is copyright 1946, it says starting 1946 and runs to 1964 D labeled spaces. Lucky guess??? LOL. I don&#039;t know really how they got that to work out so perfectly unless it was made later than the copyright and they kept the copyright the same. from 1946-1955 it was PDS, for 1956 onward it was just PD. So I&#039;d think regardless of the copyright, it has to at least be after 1956, and likely made after the composition change to clad where the folder stops with labeled spaces. </p><p>Seems weird maybe, but I think about these things. I mean it says clad starting 1965 across the top of the blank 3rd page, so I&#039;d think it was made way later than the copyright on it, like maybe right on 1965. </p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s all kinds of strangeness, like so many different copyrights for the same thing. I was trying to use it as a dating method, but it doesn&#039;t really work out, like in the roosevelt dime case. What I can say is the earlier albums of continuing series coins, have many more uninked spaces.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d &quot;buy the book&quot; but it&#039;s expensive.. LOL</p><p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Collecting-Complete-History-Publishing-1940-1978/dp/0989455327" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Collecting-Complete-History-Publishing-1940-1978/dp/0989455327" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Collecting-Complete-History-Publishing-1940-1978/dp/0989455327</a></p><p>David Lange has done the heavy lifting of trying to make heads or tails of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Personally I like how the folders were cheap, and it&#039;s like one of those things most of us started with in collecting, I have a certain love for them actually. Not that &quot;$78.99 buy the book so I know everything there is to know about them&quot; kind of love, I&#039;d rather just find and buy more old folders instead with the money I think. hahaha.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
