Finders from circulation. Pleasant pastime, but no numismatic value.
Yes just fun to search for
Pressing coins from circulation into folders is how many got started on their coin journeys.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
Enjoy. 😉

Now that is collecting fun!
That is great.... It is enjoyable filling an album from circulation, though wheaties are getting a bit scarce now....Still fun to find and they are more common in rolls from the bank... or ebay or coin shops....Cheers, RickO
When I was a kid, I was able to fill this set with the exception of the '55 S. i had to buy that one from Littleton. I think it cost me 15 cents.
Always a fun set !
Actually I completed my Wheat cent collection earlier this year. All raw (except the 09s vdb) and it was more fun than any slabbed set I've collected. I may work on the memorial set someday, just for the fun of it.
If you ever want to upgrade the press-in tri-fold album, the Whitman Classics are nice. They have the slide-in plastic that covers the coins and allows you to see both sides. You can sometimes find used ones at local shops for just a couple bucks.

Careful though, you'll be compelled to fill it and some of the early ones are pricey.
Collector, occasional seller
Those are real cool @ChrisH821
I'd love to see on of those albums filled with half cents.
That would be awesome!

I agree Roger..........but looking at that album reminds me of the FUN I got from my searching. Oh yea, I did complete 1941-Present from circulation back in 1968. Man was I proud!
'Cept I had to go to Twin City Coins and buy a 1955-S to complete it.
It was circulated, too. That's probably a rarity in itself.
I loved those days. They are close too my heart.

I used to have access to parking meter change in Racine Wisconsin back in the early '60s. We would sit around a table and fill Whitman folders about once a month. A couple of $50 bags would keep us busy..
