<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cincimatti, post: 24715772, member: 16004&quot;]Too bad I have to return them all!</p><p><br /></p><p>There was a (second) 1931 in the 31-S slot. And that&#039;s &quot;not as advertised&quot;! Back they go! I won&#039;t STAND for this kind of deception!</p><p><br /></p><p>Am I being too meticulous? They did cost me $118.02, after all! The audacity!</p><p><br /></p><p>But, seriously, I feel as if I have stumbled upon someone&#039;s entire childhood efforts. This folder is so bona fide! The real thing! The Washington Quarter book two doesn&#039;t have an end date. It would later prove to be 1959, so the folders are from some time after 1948 - Franklins are mentioned - but before 1959. No lettering on the spine as in later years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and yeah, the folders: one XF, the other VF 1909-1940. One needed a little boost with some white glue where the paper was starting to separate from the board. I treat the covers of old folders with Behold furniture polish, and then it&#039;s gloves only after that. Then in a Zip Loc bag - FOREVER!!! Mua ha ha!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>There was also a decent Lincoln memorial folder with shiny new pennies, but penned in dates (I hate that! I had a teacher who would publicly mock students that wrote in books. I&#039;ve assumed her disdain on this point, I guess), grrrr! 1959-71-s, meh! And one plain-no dates folder that was in a fight with a moose or something. Only 2/3 there, punch-throughs, with 20 absolutely pointless wheaties from the 50s, some close to BU - yippie! TEN cents, instead of FOUR! But, as I said. Nice to have for making mailers!</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, if you&#039;ll excuse me, my new puppies are due for a bath. I will post if any miracles happen in the acetone soup.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
