Album Overview & Content Breakdown:
This lot features an official, vintage Whitman blue cardboard coin folder (Collection 1964 to 1985, Number One, Model 9699) designed by the Western Publishing Company. The album serves as an excellent starter kit, containing six partially filled slots from the 1970s clad era:
1972 Philadelphia Strike: Lightly circulated with a soft satin profile and minor field marks.
1973 Philadelphia Strike: Moderate pocket wear across the high hair waves and cheekbone.
1974 Philadelphia Strike: Balanced medium slate-gray patina with fully legible obverse lettering.
1776-1976 Bicentennial Philadelphia Strike: Dual-dated commemorative issue showing honest circulation flatting on the portrait curves.
1977 Philadelphia Strike: Clean rim boundaries with generalized minor field friction.
1978 Philadelphia Strike: Evenly distributed copper-nickel luster remaining around the star profiles.
Folder Condition Notes:
Structure: The tri-fold blue cardboard binder is fully intact with strong spine hinges and crisp interior die-cut storage slots.
Graphics: The interior print detailing the original federal mintage statistics under each coin slot remains entirely complete, crisp, and dark black. The cover showcases typical light shelf friction along the corners but no major structural water damage or internal pencil markings.
