Summary: Perfect for Beginners
Review: Being my first coin collection, not much to compare this with, but I'm quite happy. You won't be able to see both sides of each coin, however with a spot for Denver & Philly, I display one side for one mint and the other for the other mint. Don't try to work the coin into the slot by hand, you can easily crack the surrounding cardboard. Put a bolt on top of the quarter and use a small hammer to secure it in, and you'll have a perfect display.

Summary: Good for holding all the quarters [1999 - 2008], but ..
Review: 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.

Summary: A Classy Way To Show Your Collection
Review: 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!

Summary: I have sore thumbs!
Review: It has been very hard to get the quarters into their spaces, compared to the other Whitman folders I have. I do like the fact that it has all the years plus the P and D series all in one.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It does exactly what you would expect it to do!
Review: 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.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fifty State Commemorative Quarter Folder: Deluxe Edition
Review: This is a complete comprehensive folder. It can educate and be a lot of fun for people of all ages.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Nice for the casual collector
Review: This is a nice keepsake for those who casually collect quarters. If you are serious about your collection, I recommend the "album" version of this product by Whitman.

Summary: fun for the kids
Review: true, the quarter slots are very snug, but i like the fact that it will hold all the state quarters in one book. Plus, it has lots of interesting info on the inside cover about all 50 states, and about the quarters themselves.
