<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 11845840, member: 92655"]Nice!!! Probably isn't a soul here that hasn't enjoyed plugging holes in old Whitman catalogs. Coin collectors tend to be rather OCD by nature so these cater to that side of our personality quite nicely..... In that walking half book there are a few dates that are coveted.. The 16-S, 17-S and 1921 P, D, and S are all key dates that carry a premium. There is one primary reason I mention that.... The tanins in the cardboard these catalogs are constructed of will react over time with your coins. I have a Mercury dime set that I started in the 1970's and finished up ten years ago. The coins I put in those books in the 70's and 80's are all dark and fugly as a result of being in that catalog so long...... You may want to pop a few out of the books to see if they are going dark on the reverse, and if so, maybe take out the key dates so you don't lose any value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
