<p>[QUOTE="Kevo, post: 893536, member: 24781"]I picked up a bunch of whitman folders at a local used book shop. Some were newer and some were quite old. Some had been used to store coins, and some had not. Figured for a buck apiece i couldnt go wrong. So i scooped most of them up save for the few that were for canadian coinage. I have never filed a type set folder so knowing i could just about get it done in one shot i started filling holes on the whitman20th century type. Got to the end where you are supposed to put a "birth year" set and choose a 68 proof that had a damaged holder. Maybe too nice to use on a whitman holder, but with the damaged packaging, low value, and the Kennedy half being impaired i went ahead. The cent wont stay in there!! What a raw deal! The hole is crisp and new , just too D@#$ big. I put together a pretty nice set too. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Now i guess i will have to upgrade to a better folder since i have the set almost complete. Any suggestions on what to buy for 20th century type?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
