Source for older Canada 5¢ Album?

Anybody know where I could find an old Library of Coins or Whitman Bookshelf album for the fishscales starting in 1858? I might be interested in others titles, too. Old new stock would be great and unexpected, but decent used condition is acceptable.

The Library of Coins 5c Album has the silver and nickel coins in it. I picked one up last weekend at a coin show and I have the name of the dealer who has a few more. Mine cost me $10 used. PM me if you are interested.

For all old, discontinued, etc Whitman & other brand folders & albums, I have always had a good experiance with & recommended:

Chief Coin & Supply Co.
P.O. Box 254
Oshkosh, WI 54903-0254

Phone: 920-231-6161
Fax: 920-231-6122

ask for Randy Miller.

From his price list dated 5/1/02:

Good luck!

I have to keep trying to get in touch with Chief Coin Supply. It doesn't matter which day or time I call, I always get their answering machine (an no one has ever called me back).

Shiro:

I believe it's still pretty much a "mom-and-pop" operation. One time I called, I got hold of Randy's wife, who said she was the only one in when he went to coin shows. So he may be travelling. So don't give up! I believe from other peoples' posts that he doesn't bring much in the way of these folders with him when he hits shows, but I may be wrong.
