Here's some info on the binders themselves. There are two volumes to this 'Rare Coin Portfolio', each housed in a different binder. Volume 1 included half cents through trade dollars and Volume 2 includes type coins, commems, silver dollars, colonials, gold and misc.

The program that this binder was to support never came to be and these binders are pretty rare. Yours is the rarer Volume 2 and it's worth several hundred dollars. Volume 1 is a bit more common and usually trades for about $100.

A very nice pickup, congratulations.

This is a vintage first edition folder made for less than a year during the 1941-1942 time frame.

WW2 wartime rationing forced Whitman to look for a new a and paper supplier

and the paper they obtained as a replacement for the first edition folders was not quite

as nice as the original. To tell a first edition folder you can examine the blue paper stock

on the front and notice that it is more deeply engrained than the second edition which has

blue paper too but the engraining is shallower than the first edition. Also an easy way to tell
is for
a first edition is to look on the front of the paper flap which is attatched to the third page of the

cover. Under the "XX" catagory of folders and if there are three or more listings under this

catagory, the last of which is for 2 and 3 cent pieces then it is a first edition folder. If it is

four listings under the XX then it is a second edition folder, the last of which is for Silver Dollars

Mormon Doctrine

Author: McConkie, Bruce R.
Title: Mormon Doctrine
Publication: Salt Lake City: Bookcraft, Inc., 1958
Edition: First Edition

Description: 776pp. Octavo [23.5 cm] Black grained buckram with the title printed on the backstrip and a portrait of the Prophet Joseph Smith on the front board. Better than very good. Small, faint owner stamp on front free endsheet. Otherwise nice. Lack jacket.

This encyclopedic explanation of LDS teachings first published in 1958, went through 60 printings, selling thousands of copies. From the day it came off the presses, Mormon Doctrine was at once wildly popular to many and deeply troubling to more than a few, even at the highest levels of the Mormon Church. Several passages about the Roman Catholic Church and McConkie's views of black people were seen as especially offensive. Although McConkie, an LDS apostle who died in 1985, took sole responsibility from the start for Mormon Doctrine's content, it often was quoted over the pulpit and treated by members as quasi-official.

"Despite the fact that the author wrote this before being called to officialdom, and that the book has never been claimed to be official doctrine, McConkie's encyclopedic work on the doctrines and beliefs of the Church did much to solidify his position in the front rank of Mormon scriptorians."

About the Book:
When Mormon Doctrine was first published in 1958, author Bruce R. McConkie, then a member of the Council of the Seventy, did not consult with the First Presidency before publishing an "encyclopedia" of Mormon doctrine. The book contained over one-thousand statements that had to be retracted by the Mormon Church, including claims that black individuals would never receive the priesthood and that the Catholic Church was the great and abominable church of the devil.

After several years of popularity despite some corrections being made, the Church ultimately recommended against a second edition of the book, as it contained too many errors. However, McConkie lobbied for a second edition, which became a top backlist performer for Deseret Books for over 50 years.

Although it is unclear whether the second edition was authorized by the Church, the book's success is known. The Church has not officially repudiated the book, as it is not customary for general authorities to rebuke each other. However, after Spencer W. Kimball's 1978 revelation on blacks and the priesthood, McConkie issued a statement encouraging Latter-day Saints to forget everything he had said about race and people of African descent.

Despite this, some still clung to the beliefs that McConkie had previously espoused. The book finally went off the shelves, long after McConkie's death, and without the Church's blessing.

It is noted that in the early days of the Church, leaders would call each other out for their mistakes and disagreements. Nowadays, it is not seen as appropriate to do so. Although it may be beneficial for leaders to speak out when errors are made, it is unlikely that an official rebuke will be made for Mormon Doctrine.

Overall, the book's controversial statements and subsequent revisions have made it a topic of discussion within the Mormon community. While it may be difficult to repudiate the book completely, it serves as a reminder of the Church's ongoing efforts to refine and clarify its doctrine.

The story of Mormon Doctrine also highlights the importance of transparency and collaboration in creating and disseminating religious teachings. McConkie's decision to publish the book without consulting with Church leaders, and the subsequent errors included in the first edition, demonstrate the risks of a top-down approach to religious education.

Today, the Church has made efforts to be more transparent and collaborative in its teachings. The Church produces official materials for use in classes and worship services, and leaders often encourage members to seek personal revelation and study the scriptures. This allows for a more nuanced and diverse understanding of doctrine among members.

In conclusion, Mormon Doctrine remains a controversial topic in the Mormon community. While it may have been flawed, it serves as a reminder of the importance of transparency and collaboration in religious education. The Church's ongoing efforts to refine and clarify its doctrine reflect a commitment to these principles, and the hope for a better understanding of Mormonism both within and outside of the Church.
