Hello folks, I have run-out of my favorite hard plastic flips & I don't know where to buy them on the Internet. The last time I purchased these nice flips was at a large coin show & I'd like to get more by mail or Internet order. I don't want to buy any other brand (of which I have many). I really want to get more of this particular hard, thick, plastic flip. The flip was supplied in a pack of sheets. Perhaps 20 or 50 sheets to a full pack. I think each sheet had 10 unfolded flips on it. Each flip has a rounded corner so that when a flip is removed from the sheet, there is a small piece between the flips that breaks-away & gets discarded. (See the photos). The plastic thickness is significantly thicker than most PVC-free archival flip products. I just measured the plastic thickness at 0.0055" (0.14 mm). Does anyone know the brand name or a specific place that I can get more of these? Very best regards, collect89
The people in the Ancient Coin Forum says that these flips are heavier than regular ones and have rounded corners. Maybe these? http://www.forumancientcoins.com/ca...s.asp?vpar=861&pos=0#Coin Collecting Supplies
Cool. So the flips offered on Forum are the significantly thicker flips with the rounded corners like depicted in my photos. Do they have a brand name or should I just buy the "USA flip product" offered on the Forum Website? I guess it is no real gamble if I buy the $10 pack of 100 but I'd rather just get another 500 pack. I know an ancient collector in my area that could use a bunch if I buy the 500.
They just come in a thick plastic bag and in tear apart sheets. No labels or anything. They are high quality & very stiff.
I just bought a pack of 100 to confirm that they are the same heavy duty flips. I paid more for the shipping than I paid for the flips. If they are the same, then I'll go back for 500. During the ordering process, the Forum Website stated that they are supplied in an unmarked plastic bag and not supplied with paper labels. That kind of makes it hard for people like me to conveniently reorder.
The paper dealer they used to get theirs went outta business. I print my own tags on a nice cardstock at office depot. Yeah the shipping sucks on the flips but they do have some heft. Mine was the 100 too. I dont buy tons of ancients so ive still got like 60 left.
I checked today and my dealer carries them. They are TransLine. They come in packs of 100. He sells them for $8.50. Here is the link. http://www.translinesupply.com/transline-archival-safe-coin-flips-100-pack-2627
