Thread: How do yu guys label your 2x2s?

im just curious as to how everyone labels their 2x2s?
i put the year and mint mark on the upper right hand
the grade in the upper left hand and any details on the bottom
and on the back i put a number that i reference to my excel spread sheet that tells me what i paid when i bought it etc..
i use different colors on the number for coins i found in circulation and those i got as gifts.

how do you label yours?

p.s. i am a lefty lol my dealer labels his date on the opposite side and it bugs me

cody

Date and mintmark on the upper left corner. Grade on the upper right. Any notes I had to say about it on the bottom left. Number I use to record the 2x2 is to the right of the coin. The price I bought it for sometimes appears on the bottom right.

I don't label mine at all, I'm lazy. I just look at the coin to tell what it is, it's date and mint mark, it's like coins are self labeled and or described.

That's a good idea rodeo clown I didn't thhink about that ;p

Date and mm on the upper left, staples at 45 degrees to the coin, close to the window, staples flattened with pliers. Lower right a code of where I got the coin, and on the back a simple code of what I paid for the coin. I keep reciepts in a folder with pockets, arranged according to type. More expensive coins go to the safe deposit box and an empty marked holder marks the spot where they would be.

I don't label mine either, but the only raw coins that I store in 2x2's are the ones I am selling. I just think a buyer would appreciate an nice brand new white 2x2.

Yup, I don't sell so I can say as a buyer, I like untouched/unaltered flips or mylars, etc. I understand why some dealers/sellers put paper stickers (cheap advertising) on their mylar flips but all they're really doing is wasting a good flip as they get thrown away and replaced.

Have you tried Avery Labels?

When I first started collecting I was putting everything on it. Date, mint mark, name of coin, condition, catalog # and any other notes. Now its just a simple date and mint mark.
