[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 5389367, member: 10461"]Indeed. I use MS Word, create a table with 1.6" by 1.6" cells, type in the info, print out on card stock (since regular paper is too flimsy to slip into a flip pocket without buckling up), then cut the squares out along the lines surrounding the cells. [B]Edit:[/B] I use the 1.6" x 1.6" dimensions for [I]regular[/I] 2" x 2" flips. This particular coin that Sal posted- these crowns- got bigger inserts, since they are in bigger 2.5" x 2.5" crown-sized flips. Which does allow more room to type data into. In this case I merely copy-pasted the stats from Numista, for simplicity's sake. [USER=101226]@Bradley Trotter[/USER] - your flip insert looks eerily like a lot of mine, since I often use the Times New Roman font as well, as seen above. Yes, she was crowned in February of 1952, and today, at 94 years old, is the longest-reigning British monarch in history, and one of the longest-reigning from [I]any[/I] country, ever. In 1965 they were still using her young head on the coinage, and yes, she was a pretty lady when young. Here's an equestrian portrait on another British copper-nickel crown.
