Help me out here.

I one JOL, single row, half dollar sized coin purse, that is suppose to carry six half dollar coins. I also have two JOL-styled double row, half dollar sized coin purse, that takes six coins (I don't know the manufacturer, has a "v" stamped in the middle of a "u" on the leather.

They are all quality purses, with single snaps, good leather, very good stitching.

But none of them will close (snap shut) if I put coins in them, even just one coin.

What gives. I thought the JOL purse was the recommended, quality purse.

Has anyone encountered this problem?

Yup. Won't close when there coins in there. Gave up on it.

Ok, so it's not just me.

Why in heaven's name would a company (any company) sell something like that?

In retrospect, in the future, I won't ever buy, new or used, any product made by JOL or this other company with the "V and U" logo.

If this is the one you are talking about, I have it and when completely loaded it has no problem snapping shut. Could you have gotten one from a bad run possibly?

My only concern with that type of purse is that is possible to drop one of the coins from it.
I have this one, but everytime I open it is this fear stalking lol

I have this one too and have had ZERO problems with it. I also trust it wholeheartedly carrying some very expensive sets. Never had a coin fall out.

Mine closes fine as well.

Good to heard that nobody drops any coin from it!

I purchased a traveler wallet (copelandcoins.com) a few weeks ago. I carry 6 walking liberties in it with no issues.
