In the Spring 2020 issue of his Coin Board News, author David Lange reported his recent purchase of this possibly unique coin board binder. He kindly forwarded the images for publishing
here. Interesting item. BIN = "Buy it now". -Editor
MYSTERY BINDER A couple months ago, while doing my daily eBay searches, I spotted the item below that had just been listed. Though the BIN price seemed high, the old rule of "buy it
when you see it, or you’ll never see it again" kicked in and made me bite. It’s a large, heavyweight ring binder with a richly grained texture and the words UNITED STATES COINS printed on the front
cover. Two common Whitman Second Edition boards dated 1938 are included, these being punched four times each for mounting. The boards are in absolutely pristine condition, aside from one partially
damaged opening in the cent board. It’s doubtful that this was a Publisher-made product from Whitman, but it is clearly of the period and quite interesting.
