Thread: Coin holders

You need to get rid of the wooden box, wood is very bad for coins. And no the slabs will not protect them from the wood.

I use 2x2's too. But for my Eisenhower dollars I used 2.5 x 2.5's. This led to a problem of them falling out of the Polypropylene pages I was using. I thought that Airtites would work better. UH UH they're still too small for the 9 pocket BCW pages. After much thinking, I decided to use an empty 2.5x2.5 in a pocket with the airtite Eisenhower dollar on top of it. Viola! This works really well. I'm almost done but am 7 2.5x2.5's short. No shops around here carry these extra large dollar flips. I went to reorder them and noticed square polypropylene Snap-On holders. They're 1/4" thick so I'm not 100% positive these will work in 2x2 pock pages. If they fit properly and really snug then that's the way I'll go.
I humbly apologize for stealing your thread but I thought this would help you and others too. I'll post pics when finished.
Thank you very much........................zeke.

I use, almost exclusively, 1 1/2 X 1 1/2 staple-type holders to use with pages and binders. This gives you 30 coins to a page, which I need because I have so many coins ... I am a hoarder of Canadian Victoria Large Cents. With 4-5 thousand of them, the extra 10 coins per page (vice 2X2's) makes a huge difference. If you live in the States, you will find no better selection or price than from Brooklyn Gallery in the post about .. by FAR the cheapest and most selection.
