Hey Guys, how many coins can you put in those 2x2 plastic coin holders? I got some recently and it looks like I can put more than one ( cent) in each one....Now, if the coins should hit each other, it will only be the rims touching so that should not be a problem, right?
I wouldn't skimp. If the coins are worth protecting with a 2x2, then they deserve their own, IMHO. Coins can slide around quite easily in those. Edit: PLUS, if you ever decide to put paper inserts in one side to describe the coins, you'd have half as much space since you'd have to write out info for both coins...
I use similar flips to store my coins, but only do one per flip. I put a paper insert with the coin's information in the other half. If you put more than one coin in a side they can still bump each other and mark the edges of the coin. I guess you could put one coin on each side with out too much danger of damaging the coins though.
I have put two in the same flip and then insert the flip into a square in a page in a binder. But when I do that, it is always the same type coin, same year. And then I take advantage of the opportunity and put obv of one and the rev of the other showing face up.
Today's phrase: false economy. Those flips "pouch out", and if you put multiple coins in one, they will end up sliding past one another. If a coin is worth putting in a flip, it's worth a flip of its own. One exception: I have been known to stage coins through flips with one in each side, for two coins per flip. But they can't rub each other in that arrangement.
