Fifty State (District of Columbia and Territorial) Commemorative Quarter Folder: Deluxe Edition (Official Whitman Coin Folder) (Hardcover)

Whitman Brand folder holds State Series Quarters 1999-2009 both Philadelphia and Denver Mints. 120 openings.
I have dozens of albums and folders in which I put my quarter collections. This folder is one of my favorites. It is beautiful and sturdy. Sure the multi-page albums are a lot nicer but also cost four times the price. So if you want a good looking strong folder, and do not want to spend too much money, this is the folder for you. Here are the pros and cons:
PROS:
1- Whitman produces one of the most beautiful coins folders in the market.
2- Fits the entire state quarter collection including both Denver and Pennsylvania mints.
3- Coins do not touch each other.
4- Opens to display entire collection.
5- Extra information on the States such as: Statehood Date, Capital, Flower, Song and Nickname (Alaska’s nickname is The Last Frontier. Pretty cool, huh?)
6- Its Price
Cons:
1- Quarters holes are small and placing the quarters can be difficult. But if you use a small towel for support it will make it easier.
Other than this I will recommend this folder. But if you are looking for a place to put your colorized quarters or other special collection you have to purchase the albums not a folder. Happy collecting and enjoy!
I bought this album because I liked the idea of having all ten years of 50 States Quarters together in one place, and because it could accommodate coins from both the Philadelphia and Denver mints. I’d previously been using a different Whitman album that only held 1999-2001 quarters and needed something for the new 2002 releases.
Unfortunately this album has the coin holes too close together. It is almost impossible to insert quarters without permanently creasing the cardboard surrounding the holes. The album I’d been using previously was much sturdier thanks to having more reinforcing cardboard.
In retrospect I think I’d be happier just having more more albums like my original one.
It’s a book for holding quarters and it does exactly that. I read reviews where people complain that it’s hard to get them in the slots – huh??? Don’t you want them to be held in there securely in the first place? So get over it already.
I like the fact that it has slots for both “D’s” & “P’s” for each state and they all fit in a single book.

Fifty State Coin Holder
The product would be perfect if it was not so difficult in getting the coins to remain in their slots without tapping them down.

Awesome Folder for Collectors
I bought this after running out of room storing all my state quarters in a bag. This is perfect for those real collectors as it includes slots for both types of mints.

my husband loves it
My husband has been collecting the state quarters and needed a place to display them. He was very happy with this, and wants another!

great item
THE QUARTERS ARE A LITTLE HARD TO PUT IN SLOTS, BUT I LIKE THAT BECAUSE THEY WON’T FALL OUT. STURDY CONSTRUCTION, AND INFORMATION ABOUT QUARTERS IS GREAT

Good, inexpensive book to keep your coins safe
The book is sturdy and has a nice appearance. It is fairly easy to get the coins in the slots, though some of the slots are a bit tight.

difficult to put coins in slots
I bought the H.E. Harris Official U.S. Mint 50 State Quarters collectors book. It has a nice appearance, but it is difficult to put the coins in the holes provided.

Package was lost– signature should be required by default
Actually I haven’t never received this order: It might be stolen by someone else when the package carrier left it in front of my door.

Great organization tool, could be built better
The collector’s book has holes the size of the coins cut out, with labels under every hole with the specific year, mint, and state of the coin for that hole.

State quarter collection
Product arrived in a timely manner and was what I was looking for except that it did not mention that the holder had spots for states for both minted cities.

Nice and neat folder
This isn’t fancy, but it works quite well for holding our collection. It has places for quarters from the Philadelphia mint as well as the Denver mint.
