These folders provide an inexpensive way for the beginning coin collector to organize his or her collection if you are planning on collecting common date coins for an extended period of time. These folders however have spaces for the rarer date coins but I wouldnt suggest placing them in these folders as they provide absolutely no protection as the better Whitman Classic Albums do. One thing I certainly dislike about these folders is that it seems very difficult to "lock" the coins in their spaces. My experience in the past with these folders is that the coins are hard to get into their spaces and I've even punched a hole through the folder with my finger trying to get a coin in its proper place. Put your coins in a folder that deserves them and buy Whitman Classics instead. You'll be glad you spent the extra, its certainly worth it.Read full review
