Vintage Whitman Bookshelf Coin Albums

This site is an attempt to document all of the vintage Whitman Bookshelf coin albums, and coin folders, published from 1940 to 1978.

In many cases, there are multiple variants of albums and folders with the same model number, covering a different range of dates, adding to the confusion. There are also cases where the same album model number is used for two completely different albums. It's like they forgot they already used the number.

I would greatly appreciate contributions! If you have albums not listed, including variants of those listed, you can send an email including sharp pictures (aim for 1500 x 1000 pixels or larger, I can re-scale if needed) of the front and all pages of the album, including the inside covers with mintage and other album info.

You can also include any descriptive text you think is important, especially for variants of the same album, describing the difference(s). Also perhaps any notes on key dates, especially for foreign albums, where that information is not commonly known by US collectors.
