I have lots of Whitman coin folders for the rest of my collection, but I can't find any coin folders anywhere for the standing liberty dimes, barber dimes, and peace dollars. I could buy the blank dime and dollar folders, but I would have to write all over them to label the years and mint marks and I have messy writing. I found one on E-Bay for the standing liberty dimes, but have had a situation with paypal (someone trying to access my account), so I'm still skeptical about using E-bay. I would prefer (blue and labeled) Whitman coin folders so they'll match the rest of the folders, but I'll take anything. I've searched multiple websites...even coin sites and the US Mint site, but none of them have anything. Has anyone seen labeled standing liberty dime, barber dime, and peace dollar coin folders? (Coin FOLDERS, not albums - please).

The folders you list do exist and the best place to get them is at a coin show. The last coin show I went to, I got a box of old whitman folders and albums for free from a dealer who didn't want them. These are no longer in favor because the materials that they are made of tone coins if stored where it is even a bit damp. New albums from Littleton (which are really expensive) don't have this problem. The old albums are fine if your coins are in circulated condition, but not if they are EF, AU, or UNC. Incidentally, there are other old Whitman albums such as half dime albums that are not even listed, but they are rare.

I don't know if they still make those folders or not but used ones are some times available. I will say this and then drop it, you are making a big mistake with folders and not albums, you will be sorry when you sell them or some one sells them. I hate to see fine coins damaged. Try www.brooklyngallery.com they are a large coin and stamp supply company. Also try Numismatic News, it come out once a week. A coin dealer in your area should have a copy, look in the supply ads there are a couple of dealers that sell used ones.

Easy! You can buy them at just about any Hobby Lobby store, on eBay online....Any coin dealer has them. Hope this helps.
