I was doing a bit of badly needed organizing and cleaning in my office this evening and realized that I have quite a large number of Whitman folders that are going unused. For a while I had a habit of compulsively filling these folders from my change jug (I have a five gallon water bottle I throw my change in when I come in the house). I've gotten out of that habit, but I really enjoyed it - especially during winter. Anyway, I decided that I'd like to give these folders away to you folks and then I had an idea. I threw together some basic books I bought when I first started collecting, a 2005 Red Book, popped a couple of heavily circulated buffalo and lib nickels into a folder and grabbed a couple of interesting coins. Now this is an entertaining and educational YN giveaway!
Here's the rundown:
Whitman albums - Franklin Half Dollars Delux (the kind with slides), Fifty State Quarters (x2), Buffalo Nickels with 1923, 1925, 1926, 1929, 1929s, 1935, 1936, 1936 d, and 1937, Lib Nickels with 1897, 1899, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1910 and 1911, Lincoln Cents 1, 2 and 3, Lincoln Memorial 1959 - 1998, Jefferson Nickels 2 and 3, Roosevelt Dimes 2, Washington Quarters 1 through 4.
1976 PHOTOGRADE book (this book is really cool)
Coin Clinic by Alan Herbert (answers a bunch of good basic questions)
One Minute Coin Expert by Scott A. Travers (I've read it, it failed to deliver
)
2005 Red Book
1923 D Peace Dollar (UNC details, BIG spot of PVC damage on T in LIBERTY. The PVC has been removed)
1980 Mexican silver onza (slider, nice coin. I got this for free with an ebay item I won and became fascinated with big silver)
2005 P and D Ocean In View Nickel set in HE Harris snap case autographed by the designer of the reverse Joe Fitzgerald at the PAN show.
I'm also going to throw in some plastic 2x2 pages and staple ups along with a few other random items.
To win you must be a YN or planning to give these items to a YN. To enter just post! I'll draw a winner from the hat on Sunday at 8:00 PM. Do me a favor and TTT this post until then. I'm a nightowl and my posts tend to sink like a rock because very few folks are on when I am! Good luck and thank you all for helping me enjoy this hobby so much!
Edited to add:
This evening I went through a few boxes and added some coins to this. A couple of problem Indian Head Cents, one dipped one slathered with active PVC, an AG early walker, a heavily circulated Franklin and a bunch of foreign material. I hope whoever gets this learns how to identify problem coins versus "honest" coins. I think that's the best knowledge I have to share. Good luck!

EJB is the winner! Congratulations!

Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies.
I'd like to enter on behalf of my son.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Plus, if I'm fortunate enough to win, I'll meet you to pick them up so you don't have to pay postage.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
Hell, I don't need to exercise.....I get enough just pushing my luck.

Ill give my vote to some other beggining YN, would be more meaningful to them.
