szugelder Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I love these large coins, want to start an album, can't find one. I have several dating 1914 through 1966. Does anyone in the community know if there is a manufacturer out there and where I might find them, new or used?? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted June 19, 2021 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted June 19, 2021 First, a correction---these are not cents---they are pennies. There are no current manufacturers of folders or albums for British pre-decimal bronze coins. Whitman folders printed during the 1960s-70s are not hard to find on eBay, and they don't cost much, perhaps $5-10 each. Whitman's slide-type Bookshelf albums are more scarce and expensive. These date from the same period. You would need two such albums, 1902-36 and 1937-. The example linked above is higher priced than ones sold in the USA. You should be able to pick these up in decent condition for around $25-35 each. Mr_Spud and ldhair 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted June 23, 2021 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted June 23, 2021 Yes, but I didn't mention it, because the OP didn't have any pennies that old. The 1860-1901 album is quite scarce and in high demand, as there was just a single printing in 1965. A clean copy will bring $100+ on eBay.

szugelder Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hey Guys - I appreciate the feedback. Wording the search correctly netted me some results. Ebay UK has options that I'm considering, would really like to find those nice bookshelf albums. Mr_Spud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is finding them in stock anywhere lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sources universally indicate their diameter as 21 mm, but they actually run higher and their embossed edges would prove problematic for a drop-in Dansco, hence the assist with an opposable thumb.] BTW, would you, or anyone else for that matter, indicate the proper procedure for inserting highly graded coins into coin collecting coins as opposed to sarcophagi manufactured by Dansco, Whitman, et al.?

The pre-decimal pennies are 31mm. The ones since 1971 are 21mm. I figured that one out when I needed nickel sized tubes to store the leftover pennies from my last trip across the pond. Going again when they figure out how to beat the “VID”. They already canceled two dates for my VIP tour at Llansitrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but if he starts collecting the large pennies he will eventually want to extend back into the Victoria pennies. Good to know they did make a book for them. (I have the full set in Whitman folders, didn't know they made albums for them. May have to consider trying to track them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted June 30, 2021 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted June 30, 2021 Here's the album in question. It's variety WBB1dA1 in my book, and that stands for Whitman Bookshelf British, 1 Penny, First Title, 1st Edition: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
