Does anyone recall what the brand name was on these old cardboard coin holders?

    They look like Meghrig holders, but I am certain others may have manufactured similar items.

    They can make some pretty toning if you can keep the cardboard dust off the coins....have seen lots of carbon spotting on coins from these holders.

    Most of the Meghrig holders I've seen have been kraft (light brown), and I've never seen any for individual year sets like that, just pages from an album which would hold two sets each. That all said, Meghrig did make a lot of holders in that style that would be around the same age, so that's as good a guess as any.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    I had black Meghrig holders with year sets of coins placed into them that I purchased off of ebay (with the coins) back in the late 1990s.
