<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 181530, member: 4552&quot;]This subject depends on what is ment by folders. For example Whitman makes folders where you have slots and you press the coins into a slot. The slot is supposed to be shaped in such a way that the outer edge is smaller than the inside edge so once the coin is inserted it sort of snaps in place. Of course changing those coins will wear out the slots edges making it known that the coin may fall out. Not sure if still done but the process of manufacturing of these types of folders, and Whitman is not the only one, is to take a sheet of paper that is to be used as a backing, spread glue on the entire page, place the slotted sheet on that and you now have a folder. Many individuals utilize the glue in the back of the slot by wetting it in order to help hold worn coins in place. Obviously everyone has seen coins with sort of dark lines on the reverse caused by the glue. I too used to do this when I was a kid. </p><p>&nbsp; However, note Dansco, Littleton, Whitman and several others today also make what is know as Abums. These are constructed with slotted pages so that the coins are visible on both sides and protected from falling out by the use of plastic slides. I&#039;ve had Littleton albums and gave them away. Just didn&#039;t like them. Dansco is supposed to be made much more durable and sturdy. Whitman used to be made in Wisconsin and I&#039;ve heard the product has gone downhill due to being made in China but put together in Wisconsin. Not sure itf that is true though. I use only Whitman Classic Albums due to availability here in the mid west and once started with one color I don&#039;t want to change. Also, Whitman makes so many blank pages, extra pages with info on them, sheets of gold leaf looking press on dates and things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
