Coin shops in Stratford upon Avon ?

[thurmownator]

I'm an American who colllects British coins, and have a friend (and Brit) headed home for the holidays. He will promarily be in Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire and has agreed to bring back some Whitman coin folders if I can locate a shop that carries them.

Can anyone recommend any shop(s) ?

Thanks much,

Mike

I don't think they are made anymore.....however I might be wrong.

Thanks Peter, they may now be out of print, but coin shops may still have copies in stock. I've looking for folders for most demomination post-Victorian, pre-decimal coins.

Ebay is a good source for Whitman folders, there are normally plenty for sale.

Thanks

Thanks Colin, and searching the net, I did see some offered by Dragon Antiques in Gloucestershire; both empty and partially filled.

However, the empty ones were listed for 10 pounds ($18.78 USD) for a (presumably) used coin folder; which certainly must be a typo. When new they only retailed for 1 pound 59 ($2.99 USD).

I offered him 2 pounds ($3.76 USD) a piece for the five or six I as looking for last week......and am waiting for a reply.

£10 is expensive, usually they are about £2 - £3 (last time I looked).

Don't they damage the coins though? As a dealer I have bought a number of collections including filled Whitman folders. Generally the coins have been toned unevenly and on a few ocassions bronze disease had occured on a few of the dowward facing sides of pennies.

Hi mike you dont ahve to travel far to get these Great Britain Whitman Folders, I used to buy these from a dealer in America and sell them on Ebay for huge profits, this dealer get in many GB Whitman Folders from time to time.

How to contact him if you go to Google and type in Nickle Trader Whitman Folders, it should be the first search that come up.

I would also like to say to every one if any one has any Great Britain Whitman Folders that are complete please let me know as I have a small collection and would like to build it up.

The folders that I require arelisted below:

Florins 1911-1940 Complete

Shillings 1902-1936 Complete

Thankyou very much
