Summary: (4.5) The perfect way to store your quarter collection!
Comment: This is one of the best albums I've seen for collecting the statehood quarters, and is what I keep my personal collection in. It's simple and yet classy looking. I'm not too keen on those tacky map-like albums. It has ten cardboard pages, with room for two years' worth of quarters (ten) on each page. The coin slots are open on both sides of the page, to allow for viewing of both sides of the coins, and have plastic coverslips to protect against scratches, fingerprints, etc. Each coin slot is labeled with the state's name, and they are arranged in order of production. The book itself is very sturdy and affords ample protection for the coins. The inside cover offers a brief explanation of the "50 States Commemorative Coin Program Act" and some information on quarters in general. The inside back cover lists all the states in order of production, the year in which each was / will be produced, and the date on which that state gained admission to the Union.
The only fault I find with this album is that it does not have slots for each mint mark (coins produced at the Philadelphia Mint are marked with a "P" and coins produced at the Denver Mint are marked with a "D" - this can be seen on the reverse side of the coin, to the right of Washington's head, just below the words "In God We Trust"), but this would only be an issue to very serious connoisseurs, and I suspect most casual collectors will be perfectly happy to stick to one coin for each state. Or you could just buy two books, one for Denver coins and one for Philadelphia coins (I know a couple people that have done this). However you choose to go about it, this album is wonderfully put together, and I would recommend it to anyone as a great way to store your Statehood Quarter collection.

Summary: Forget The Maps, This Is A Nice Presentation Album
Comment: I do not care too much for the maps and the folders with state statistics in them. Those are mostly for kids. Other folders have slots for P, D, and S mints but where I live, its too hard to collect all of the different mint mark varieties. This one has one slot per state, plastic strips to help protect the coins, and you can see both sides of the coins. The Whitman company has been in the coin business for a long time, much longer than a lot of quick buck artists who are trying to milk the popularity of the statehood quarters. Whitman and Dansco are the leaders in the field and this is high quality album.

Summary: Another fine coin album from Whitman
Comment: Whitman has a long history of producing sturdy, similarly dressed coin albums for coins for all types of United States coins throughout the country's history. This album is the newest edition for storing 25-cent pieces that are a part of the new (starting in 1999) Statehood quarters. (5 quarter designs will be released each year for 10 years--1 coin for each state, released in the order the state joined the Union.) What I can add to the previous excellent review is that all of Whitman's dark blue hard back albums, like this one, have six plastic sleeves per page. Three sleeves behind and three in front of the six rows of holes for the coins, which slide in and out of the pages. And, each hole in this album is marked with the State whose design graces the obverse of the coin. The result is an album where both the obverse (front) and reverse (back) of the coins are viewable just by turning the page--no removal of coins is necessary, preserving the condition of the coin. It is unfortunate that this book does not have two holes for each of the circulated coins ("P" mint mark for coins minted in Philadelphia's US Mint, a "D" for coins minted at the US Mint in Denver). Whitman's other albums usually make room for all minted circulations for the coin. But that's ok, I'll just have two Statehood Quarter books in my collection of Whitman Coin Albums.
