What does he know about the original Beistle Unique Coin Albums, anything? I’m talking about these ones. They are still mysterious, the best info is in Lange’s book, but still lots of unknowns. Like, are these common or super rare?
And does he know the actual dates these logos were used for the Large Wayte Boards? Below was as far as I got finding when each was used, would love to know the rest of the dates
Found these 1st edition blue Whitman folders at a local coin show. After talking with David Lange before his passing, and confirming that the Walking Liberty folder that he possessed was the only one known, I also emailed him with pictures that I had found another. How rare are these first edition folders and are there any known population figures on them?

have you ever showed your coin board collection to a real girl and if so what happened?
That’s funny 😆
I’m lucky my wife tolerates my obsession with Wayte Raymond Boards and albums. It helps that she collects dimes and proudly totes her Wayte Raymond Barber Dime album to any coin show she attends with me looking for upgrades 🌞
Notice how those early Whitman tri-fold albums have the mint marks arranged (P) - S - D (in the order that the respective Mints were established), while the later ones use (P) - D - S (alphabetical order for the ones that actually have mint marks)? This was because the Wayte Raymond "Standard Catalogue of United States Coins" used the chronological order for its mint marks, and in the early days of the Blue Book and the Red Book they used the same order and Raymond grumbled about copyright infringement, and so Whitman changed everything to the alphabetical system.

And did you notice that on the first edition Liberty Standing Quarter folder, the 1920 S was printed twice while not including the 1920D?

And there's a 40-D half.
Looks like this folder was printed before the final mintage numbers were known and in anticipation that all 3 mints would produce coins, since no mintage figures yet appear under the dates. Thanks for pointing this out as I never noticed that before.

Allow me a follow-up question regarding this topic:
I noticed this the other day when I was looking at my Jefferson nickel collections.
Why was it Meghrig within the same album switched and on the first two pages listed the nickels P S D and the following two pages they're listed P D S? This is the same album! Pages one and two are listed different than pages 3 and 4.

A question that has been haunting me for decades.
Why, oh WHY did Dansco with the Continental Line change the position of the 1909 VDB Cent slot and the 1909-1958 Cent slot?!

What year was the peak in album sales?
Good question to ask. I'd guess 1963.

Was there a small production of World Coin albums/folders/boards made for Export?
Serious question
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

The very first pennyboard listed 1921-D cents.
Don and I had a great two hour interview yesterday. I was able to ask many member's questions.
I will let you all know when I upload the video to Youtube!

Never noticed that.
I think this transition confused the type setter.
