Washington Head Quarter Collection Coin Album

This item is a Washington Head Quarter Collection, a numismatic album designed to house and display United States Washington quarters. The collection appears to be a multi-fold, blue cardboard or heavy paper album with circular cut-outs to securely hold individual coins. The visible sections show multiple rows and columns of slots, with some slots filled with coins and others empty. Below each active slot, there is printed text indicating the year of the quarter the slot is designed for, suggesting a chronological arrangement of the collection. The album is blue with white or light-colored text for the year labels. The coins present are US Washington quarters, showing various dates, some with visible wear and others appearing in better condition, though exact grading is not possible from the image. The album itself exhibits some signs of use, including a slight bend or crease on the far right panel, suggesting it has been handled. The rightmost panel of the album contains printed information, including the title "WASHINGTON HEAD QUARTER COLLECTION" and what appears to be an introduction or instructions for the collection, with the phrase "Starting 1932" clearly visible. This indicates the album is intended to house quarters from 1932 onwards. The construction is typical of coin collecting albums from the mid-to-late 20th century, utilizing sturdy cardboard with punched holes. The overall condition suggests a well-cared-for but used item, common for a collection like this that would be opened and closed over time. The blank slots indicate the collection is incomplete, offering potential for further acquisition by a collector. The craftsmanship is functional, designed for practicality in coin display and storage rather than elaborate artistry.
