<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 556543, member: 15199&quot;]The blue ones are Whitman as described above. The newer ones, such as you show are better than the older ones as to the type of glue and paper. The older ones are nice for storing coins you hope will tone around the edges. I have never heard about the &quot;spit&quot; to glue that Carl mentions, but he is more experienced than me. The other albums seem to have plastic sliders to hold the coins in place. I have quite a few of all of these types still with coins just for organized storage of surplus but interesting coins. Take a moment to observe each coin, especially any hidden view, every so often , so you can spot any difficulty such as the beginning of corrosion. Any coin you view as more valuable should go into better storage and there are several threads here you can find using the &quot;search&quot; button above.</p><p><br /></p><p>Let me tell you that this group of Lincolns is an excellent way to learn the skills of grading, preservation, evaluation, and identification. This middle years of lincolns are sometimes underestimated as to difficulty of finding nice high grade coins, although they may show up in change or searched in rolls from the bank. Since this range covers late wheats and memorials, you can learn to grade both types.:smile</p><p><br /></p><p>Welcome and good looking!</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
