Lincoln Cents Folder #1, 1909-1940

I purchased all four of the Lincoln penny coin folders for collectors (1909 to the present) for my 8-year old grandson for Christmas; since they brought back memories of when I was his age. I was uncertain, however, in this modern digital age, whether he would be interested in them. As it turns out, he was very excited about them. Then, my own son (his father), pulled his own Lincoln penny collection out of storage, which he had started about 30 years ago when I gave him similar penny folders for collecting. Among others, it had a 1909 Lincoln penny, which was the first year they were coined; and for variety, a steel 1943 Lincoln penny. (To save copper for the war effort, the U.S. Treasury coined most of the 1943 pennies in steel, which are bluish-gray in color.) I highly recommend these, and other, coin collecting folders as a gift for a young boys and girls. But then, of course, you should also give them, say, $20 worth of Lincoln pennies in rolls from the bank, so they can go looking searching through them for the pennies they need to begin filling the folders. As I child, I would periodically return these unused pennies to the bank to get more pennies to repeat the process. So, this also led to my first banking transactions; and, of course, I traded pennies with friends, so this also led to my first trading experiences. Something old, something new; something borrowed, something blue. Kodiak (1949)

I bought the entire collection of these folders that is available at the moment. They all arrived within a day of each other, as expected. New users may think they seem small but they are a very compact and inexpensive way to keep your coins organized. A great tool for the beginner or the experienced coin collector. Be sure to lay the binder on a flat, hard surface like a desk or kitchen counter when entering your coins and you should have no problems.

Perfect folders for the project I am doing. I bought #1 #2 #3 they all came in great condition and were delivered on Memorial Day very impressed. They were cheap witch is good for I am going to frame them in a frame that can easily have the glass slid to side so you can put any new coins in them. I would suggest if you are just starting out or are making a second set for a misc project to get these. If you want to see the back and front of the coins or would like to have it better protected I would say buy the Albums and not folders.

The penny book does contain a section for the 1909 V.D.B SanFrancisco minted coin. I have seen many other books that don't even place that in it because it is such a rare and expensive coin. There were only a few hundred thousand of the coins minted and the average price for one is about a thousand dollars ($950). I understand that it is one of the pennies that were minted, but BEWARE that completing this book is already a challenge, but the V.D.B S penny makes it insanely difficult.

Whitman Lincoln Cents collection (1909-1940) is a good quality folder for the new and old collectors alike. Each of its 3 pages has 30 slots for holding a total of 90 coins minted during this area. Each slot has printed below it the date and mint of the coin it is intended to hold and how many of the coin was minted. This folder also has one extra slot at the end labeled "varieties" for either displaying the back or some other special coin you may have. Read the directions and inserting the coins is no problem. My only note is that this may not make a great "tooth fairy" album because most of the coins needed for it are harder to find (wheat pennies and war pennies) but if you have a huge 5 gallon bucket of old pennies your great grandfather collected this is probably for you =)

Does what it's suppose to do and that is store your wheat pennies and keep them safe just a heads put mine had a hole in the back of one of the coin slots no big deal but it was slightly worrying when first opening up the package. As for if I would recommend this product to others most definitely although being cheaply made it does what it is suppose to do and at good price. Also it had free shiping!

Having worked at a cash register and with money for so long, I've always been fascinated with different coins. I've had all my coins in small bags and coin pockets but I finally got tired of sorting through them and trying to see what doubles I had. I was happy to put them into a nice stiff book like design, and it held the coins really well. I was finally able to get rid of the doubles and triples that I had. As soon as I can I will be purchasing the others, from the other two penny ones to the quarters and nickles. Excellent buy.

Product delivered damaged. The box was ok but one of the folders has a hole in it. For what I paid for it I’m not gonna bother returning it but you can believe I won’t do further business with them

It's sophisticatedly built good quality once you put a coin in though trying to get it out is pretty rough and then putting it back in it gets a little looser N Looser as you take the coins in and out of the little round slots but it works really good.It's definitely for a serious coin collector excuse me penny collector.

Arrived sooner than expected, undamaged, great condition, now I just need more coins to fill booklet up!

Quality is good, easy to read, coins easy to get in. Very well pleased with this folder.

Nice book but need to recheck holes punched in book some of the witman book coins will not fit in the punches out hole holes are to tight

I love these coin books. Something I can pass down when I'm finished with them.

It's hard to beat something that's been around for more than fifty years. This folder holds the coins tightly but allows them to be removed easily.

The holes for the coins are a little tight and the pennies pop out..

For some reason I have always saved pennies, now I can make my inner OCD nerd happy and organize them. They are small and compact and the pennies fit easily.

the standard for coin collecting.

This is still the same collector book I used 60 years ago. Sharing with the grandchildren now.

I purchased Lincoln Cents Folder #2, 1941-1974 and the holes for the penny's were too small. This one was just right! It seems after reading the other reviews on this one, other customers have the same problems with these folders, The Coins Don't Fit! It seems as though no two folders are alike! Pot luck ordering these, you may get a good one or a bad one. Overall not too bad considering the price. it holds the coins

Gave it to a friend. He likes it. I already had another one. Coins fit well, unlike the Canadian penny folders

Although you can get nicer penny collection books, this one is GREAT for getting organized and starting out. Especially if you are unsure about your new hobby and don't want to invest a lot of money in it yet, this is an easy way to start learning. My 6 yr old son collects coins and this has been a great resource for him to keep straight what he has so far. I highly reccommend this folder!

Thanks

Easy to use

Good book

This is a great idea for the whole family to work on. It helps keep the kids looking for the ones they needed to fill the holes in the book.

I have bought a few different brands of these coin folders and these seem to be the best quality I can find.they look really good and the material used is thicker and more stylized than the others.the coins fit well too.

good holder

good

So much fun! I love collecting coins, and this book is great for that. The pennies fit nicely and snugly into the slots and stay there. I even had to take a few out after finding better versions for that particular date and the pennies snap right out with little problem. This product is not only what I was expecting, but also what I was hoping for.

High quality display booklet that doesn't take up too much space like those giant state quarter displays.

I got these for my boyfriend they were a little smaller than we thought they would be but they are good.

Perfect for my collection

cool.

good product

Buen producto

Just right

My son loves these. He's 13 and started his coin collection, so I purchased this because it's the same brand I bought for myself 45 years ago. Still the same great quality as the ones I bought. Very impressed.

Bought this for a friend and she loved it.

Product is damaged

They work but not sure how they will hold up paper seems brittle.

Good booklet

Really nice little folder to collect my pennies in I love it I would definitely recommend it.

These coin books are a great way to get kids interested in coin collecting, the ones for modern coins are even better since it's coins they can look for in their change.

The price is right for these books to hold the Wheats that matter.

Special piece 2 other parts though family and 30 rolls of pennies assorted pre 59

Is made of cardboard but labeled nice and holds the coins right in place!

Works great

I bought these for my grandchildren for Christmas to use with wheat pennies I had collected and just plain wheat pennies has a game nice quality.

Love it.

It was great

Great folder

Great for my collection

Perfect.

Replacing my fathers collection folders with these as his have seen their better days and they work just fine.

Well made

great product for collectors starting their coin collection great way to keep track of coins and build of item is great

These are classic folders for coin collecting,

Received proper product on time.

Bought for my daughter, she loves collecting coins in them, she had all the quarters, nickels, and dimes, but needed pennies, bought 3 books to cover 100 years of coins. Good value for the product

Good, sturdy folders.

Same as the one's I had as a chile 50 years ago except maybe thinner cover material. Good for the beginning collector and should last years if not abused. Not the sturdiest of all products.

Nice starter album, it covers a lot of years for a beginner. My seven year old loves it. Can't view both sides once you put the coin in, difficult to remove. But to get a collection organized organized and a child interested it is great.

Great for coin collecting

I decided I wanted to get my bags of pennies organized so my wife bought all the penny books she could find for my birthday, LOL. The book is just as nice as the ones I used as a kid - which is a big compliment, most things aren't as good as before. This is perfect for my organization project.

It was perfect

Thought I would like these but my coins are to nice to touch but these would seem great for kids or beginners

Great standard folio to keep your penny collection neat and tidy...not super heavy duty, but it does get the job done. With as many pennies as are in my car, I should've gotten 3 or 4 to fill up! :)

Great gift

Great quality, great book

What I expected

Well put together and at a decent price. This is what I used and my grandfather used when he was a kid. Whitman has been around for a long time and they do a good job. The reason I only 4 stared was because after a couple of times of removing a coin it doesn't keep it tight. Great product.

Good buy

Purchased for my grandson. Quality product.

The folder was just what I needed. Thank you

Ok

Kid friendly. 10yr loves it & can organize his coins by himself. Thank you for making my life easier.

same book I used years ago, works as suggested

Great! Like the extra space for varieties, and love the fact that it's easy to get the coins in. Really fun to work on, too. Got all three books at once and had a great evening by the fire sorting pennies!

Received this exactly as the write-up described. No issues. Recommend if you are looking for a place to keep pennies that you collect.

Son loves this

Good

Looks good and coins fit just right. What else is there to say.

Works good

to use to save some older coins product is good quality!

as advertised

fast ship. excellent for helping organize coins for my grandsons

I used this product to store the pennies I took effort to collect, and it was fun. Now I have given the product and enclosed pennies away and am satisfied with the project it involved. - Dave Chiddix

This is just the book I was looking for. It is just like the one my father had when I was young.

Great way to challenge yourself to find every coin

Son loves filling these books. Keeps his pennies in order for him to locste faster and see what hes missing.

An easy way to keep track of your pennies.

I gave it to my 10 year old grandson he's enjoying it, now I would like to get him dimes or Quartes.

great for the collection

This item was purchased by my son. He likes them except the pennies are kind of hard to get in the folders. The pennies are easy to identify in which slot they are to be inserted. Overall, he is happy with this purchase.

Was not handed to me resident. That's untrue.

Happy with the product

Coins dont go in well and when they do, they fall out- very cheap

Great cheap coin folders.

Excellent quality. Easy to fit coins in and they stay put.

The coins fit in nicely (**the folder I got had the coin brown for folders #1-3 for whoever buys them all at once and sees the other folders are silver in the picture)

Arrived on time, look’s good

good price

My husband loves it and it was great for his collection

Good product for the price for my coins

Great way to save and protect your coins...

using coin collecting with grandchildren

What I wanted and works as expected

Good for starter collector

Keeps your coins until you get a coin album.

Nice book and coins hold in well.

excellent quality

Coin holder #1

thanks

Great product

it's OK

another book to complete the collection

Wonderful product. I am ready to start collectington and sorting my pennies. Thank you for having what I wanted.

I remember when I was young and used the same folders. It was much easier to put the coins in. Now it is much more difficult with the new books. I found I had to try pushing the coin one way, then taking it out and pushing it in another. Then the coin would go in. Even more difficult if using the slots towards the middle of the folding pages. I bought some for myself and my granddaughter, now I feel sorry for her having to deal with these pages. But -- it is the only game in town. And the game is made ... you guessed it - China.

good item.

Quality is bad compared to older types probably because it's Chinese cardboard

Simple book; just as expected.

These folders make coin collecting very easy. They're well made, and hold the coins tightly. Some coins might require a good push to seat, but all in all, Whitman Coin Folders cannot be beat.

dose the job

thank you great job keep it up

Whitman folders are the best!

Found it impossible to fit the pennies in the holes provided in page, when I was able to, it would cause the pennies on the front page to pop out.

great

great book

good product.

needed this for my pennies, thanks

My mistake, I thought this was a small book and not a booklet to contain coins. Hopefully my husband will put it to use, otherwise it would have been returned.

Got this folder for a gift for my son. We currently have two pennies in this book but it's very interesting to teach him not only the value of money but introduce him to coin collecting as well!

Exactly as indicated Arrived quickly.

Great Product!!! My Daughter's Boyfriend Loves it!!!

works fine

good quality, good gift for starter coin collection

We have collected over time a number of leaf back pennies and these Lincoln Cents Folders met our expectations.

Holds my coins

Great grandchild gift, gave 1 to each, 6.

Exactly what I needed.

Perfect gift with a big bag of old pennies.

coin folder ok

Timeless classic. It is a must have for any parent who is working with their children to sort, collect, and learn more information about American coinage!

I didnt pay attention to the dates...wow...collecting is hard but rewarding

I got this item just as it was explained to me! I love having it, although I didn't realize that I needed the second penny book and not the first one. But now I have more pennies to find!

It's A Coin Book

These are wonderful for penny collections. Getting the next generation involved.

The pennies are hard to get out but that's probably a good thing so they don't fall out.

Item as advertised, very good pricing and quality. Quick delivery, well packaged.

work fine

Worked perfectly

It does what it's made to do 👌

Great inexpensive product to hold those less expensive collections. Keeps your coins organized well.

Functinal but made with card board

MUST HAVE.....

Just what I wanted.

Well made, worth money spent

Inexpensive Grandson gift. He loves it!

Nice book to organize my coins.

SAME

good folders still to daylo

Good project for the grand kids.

GREAT PRODUCT, FAST SHIPPING
