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

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.
