Coin Collecting Plastic Sleeves
Where can I find the old style pressed penny books? The kind that had clear plastic pages, not a trifold.?
These are books for collecting your smashed or elongated pennies of the type you get in machines outside souvenir shops or at tourist attractions. They were small books with several plastic pages and had a hard plastic binding. Inside you could slip the coin completely in to the plastic sleeves on each page. Seems like the only ones available for purchase anymore are trifolds where you slip in the coins but the plastic only covers the middle of the coin. These new kinds are also tall, and the old one I’m looking for was more squarish. I have three of these, one from Wall Drug, one from Oregon and one from San Francisco. Do they not make these anymore? I just don’t care for the new ones being sold.
Are you talking about the little blue books? Does your Oregon book have the Heceta Head lighthouse?
These are still available in a few places. They are also listed on ebay occasionally. Some locations that I know have these penny books are the Sea Lion Caves in Florence, Oregon; San Francisco; Enchanted Forest in Salem, Oregon and One Log House in Piercy, California. I have never been able to figure out who manufactures them.
There are a few elongated coin discussion groups on Yahoo Groups. If you join elongatedcoin there may be people who can get some of the books for you (though you should be prepared for a lecture on the evils of PVC — it can eventually damage your pennies)
