Printing Flip Inserts

These were GREAT, saved me a ton of time. I recommend them to anyone who uses flips.

Other than price, why is it you prefer the Air-Tites over slab-like? With the slab-like, you can print labels for both sides containing information about the coin, purchase price, where you obtained it, etc, etc. With an Air-Tite, you are pretty much left with just the coin and a written log if you can somehow identify each Air-Tite accurately without having to make a further purchase of the 2x2 Air-Tite card holder.

I would agree, however, that in purely displaying the coin itself, Air-Tites on a nice bezel cannot be beat. Space wise, as well, Air-Tites consume less space. But, as a collector, having information about each coin that I would like to have within the same reach as the coin itself make slab-like holders worth the extra cost.

Just curious, other than price, what reasons you would have for Air-Tites over slab-like.

 

I've had Mylar balloons (much, much thinner than a Saflip) hold helium for months at a time. Mylar is much more permeable (more than an order of magnitude--look it up) to helium than it is to air, and there isn't anywhere near the pressure differential between the inside and outside of a sealed Saflip as there is between the inside and outside of a helium inflated Mylar balloon.

 

maybe we can try it with a 1804 dollar any volunteers?

 

I only use air-tites for my raw high-enders, both mint state and high grade circ. They are cheap, good looking and the best protection short of a slab. They fit into a 2.5" flip and then into double row boxes. Best game in town for your good coins. One thing to note, if you do decide airtites, use the type with the rings, your coins will not get stuck in them.

 

ok coll where do i buy the ring airtites?

 

Try Valley Coin, I buy in bulk there ( but be sure to tell them not to spam your email box, grrrrrrrr) , or JP's corner

 

Maybe it's old age but I just can't see wasting time moving your coins from a 2x2 to anything. I like 2x2's since you can write on them with a pencil, pen, felt tip marker or anything. Why go to all the problems of using a computer program to make little things to stick on a thing with the same info as could be done with a pencil on a 2x2? And with a 2x2, you could just use white out to delete what you put there and write something new there. Maybe it's just me being cheap or old but I rather like the 2x2's.

 

I'll keep that in mind in case I ever feel the need to store my coins in an aquarium.
