1: difficult to put coins in slots
I bought the H.E. Harris Official U.S. Mint 50 State Quarters collectors book. It has a nice appearance, but it is difficult to put the coins in the holes provided. I can't seem to do it. Is there a simple way to do this.

2: Package was lost-- signature should be required by default
Actually I haven't never received this order: It might be stolen by someone else when the package carrier left it in front of my door. Why don't Amazon set the "signature is required" by default for all if its packages?

3: Great organization tool, could be built better
The collector's book has holes the size of the coins cut out, with labels under every hole with the specific year, mint, and state of the coin for that hole. It is different from other whitman portfolios in that it is slightly larger and it has labels through the series' completion at the end of 2009, while most have labels through the previous year. I have found it very hard to keep a collection of circulating coins without whitman portfolios.
I took off a star because of two flaws in its design. Most importantly, the backing is very thin, and clearly shows every coin you've pressed into the other side. Also, the coins stay in place by pressing the surrounding posterboard outwards. That means that the force used to put the coin into the book is far more than the force holding it in, and it cane sometimes be a struggle to get a coin to fit.

4: State quarter collection
Product arrived in a timely manner and was what I was looking for except that it did not mention that the holder had spots for states for both minted cities. I wish it had mentioned that in the description. It was a very good deal! :)

5: Nice and neat folder
This isn't fancy, but it works quite well for holding our collection. It has places for quarters from the Philadelphia mint as well as the Denver mint. Sure makes you pay a bit more attention to your change!
