THE MINI 50TH ANNIVERSARY RED BOOKS

In response to our earlier discussions, David Lange writes:
"These little folders came both with and without dimes dated
1946 and 1996. You had to get to the booth early to get the
ones with dimes, as these ran out after the first couple of days.
Being already known as a collector of coin folders, I was able
to score several examples with dimes and a few without. I
have still have them, and they are listed in the catalog I
maintain.

Not mentioned in the E-Sylum were the 1990 mini-folders
distributed at the Seattle ANA convention that year to mark
the 50th anniversary of the familiar Whitman blue coin folder.
These were slightly larger than the mini-folders of 1996 and
displayed a reduced-size version of the then-current Whitman
Lincoln Cent folder #9004. Each contained a 1940 and 1990
cent. As in 1996, the ones with cents ran out early, so they
may be found without coins, too."
