Whitman Raises the Bar Again with All-New Prestige™ Coin Album Line

Elegant. Functional. Collector-Focused. The Next Generation of Numismatic Storage is Here.

by Whitman Brands | Published on May 28, 2025

The initial rollout includes popular and time-honored series like Lincolns, Morgans, and Silver Eagles.

The wait is over. Whitman Brands™ proudly announces the debut of Whitman Prestige™, an all-new premium coin album line designed with the modern collector in mind. Following months of anticipation and chatter across the numismatic community, Prestige redefines what it means to store and showcase a coin collection — combining elevated aesthetics with trusted functionality.

Crafted as an upgrade to the beloved Whitman Classic line, Prestige albums are larger, sturdier, and feature new art, measuring 7.8 x 9.4 inches with durable, soil-resistant grained leatherette covers. Unlike other albums on the market, each album includes a sleek protective slipcase for both style and protection. Available in multiple embossed finishes and colors, Prestige albums start at $69.95.

“The community was ready for something new,” said John Feigenbaum, President and CEO of Whitman Brands. “My mandate to the team was to create a premium coin album that is both elegant and functional — and designed with the collector in mind. The result is, I believe, the new standard in storage and display for years to come: bold, beautiful, and accessible to collectors of all levels.”

Initial Prestige Series Titles Include:

  • Lincoln Cents 1909–1958, 1959–2008, Starting 2009
  • Statehood Series Quarters 1999–2009
  • Liberty Walking Half Dollars 1916–1947
  • Kennedy Half Dollars 1964–1996, 1997–2026
  • Morgan Dollars 1878–1891, 1892–1921
  • Peace Dollars 1921–1935
  • American Silver Eagles 1986–2021, Starting 2021

“At Whitman, we are extremely proud of our legacy of accuracy, quality, and innovation — and the Prestige line continues that tradition,” said Mike Pfeiffer, Chief Operating Officer of Whitman Brands. “While the initial rollout includes popular and time-honored series like Lincolns, Morgans, and Silver Eagles, we are already developing future series and sets based on community input. There is more to come!”

Titles Coming Very Soon:

  • Buffalo Nickels 1913–1938
  • Jefferson Nickels Starting 1938–2003, Starting 2004
  • Mercury Dimes 1916–1945
  • Roosevelt Dimes Starting 1945
  • Washington Quarters 1932–1964, 1965–1998
  • Franklin Half Dollars 1948–1963

Each Prestige album is available in black and burgundy in three different spine widths depending on page count. Clear plastic slides protect both sides of each coin, while thumb notches on each page allow for effortless removal. Labeled openings, historical context, mintage data, and series specifications are standard — reinforcing Whitman’s reputation for collector-first design and educational value.

“The new line gave us the chance to make subtle but important improvements,” noted Patrick Ian Perez, Chief Publishing Officer of Whitman Brands. “We brought current coin series more up to date, improved organization for sets spanning multiple volumes, and kept Proof coins separate from circulating issues. We also removed varieties not practical for album storage and standardized terminology across the board.”

Published by Whitman®, the most trusted name in numismatic literature, Whitman Prestige™ albums are available now at Whitman.com, Whitman’s Official eBay Store, bookstores, hobby shops, and authorized retailers nationwide.

New titles, themes, and global series will be added as the Prestige line expands.
