    You know how the cardboard holders can't hold enough info on them?
    Yet, the 2x2 flips let the coin slide?
    well check out what I did while I was tryna think of a good way to protect my Gordian...:

    To do this, you will need to cut the cardboard holder to fit in the flip.
    This way, you have good protection, and can put info on the other side of the flip.

    what do you guys think?...is it a really dumb idea?

    depending on how much info you want to put on a coin, there may not be enough room for that...

    How small do you think I can write?!?! Lol.

    Stainless - they make larger flips. And smaller cardboard flips. Take your pick. Lol.
