<p>[QUOTE="The Virginian, post: 893559, member: 15201"]2x2s and flips in my experience are 2 of the worst coin mounting options for many of the reasons outlined earlier. I will say that Eagle Coin Holders are far superior to cardboard 2x2s either the staple or self sealing-or unsealing as I like to call them-because they squeeze down much thicker mylar film tightly to the coin and have a tight fitting tougue and groove polycarbonate frame in either white or black. I prefer the white so that I can make my own custom labels. They are 100% PVC free and hold the coin tightly in place if assembled correctly. I would put Eagle and Capital Plastics on par with each other, with the edge to Eagle because or their lighter weight and reduced bulk. Cointains and Air-Tites are good too, but don't lend themselves well to good mounting. DYI slabs are just too bulky for me and can get expensive. Whitman plastic coin mounts are too fragile and tend to crack when assembling and seem no more air tight than staple 2x2s. Intercept Shield has some good 2x2s with their protection insert surrounding the coin, but the cost is quite prohibitive and seems to need some custom fitting for the coin when mounting them in the insert. I went with Eagle 24 years ago and haven't gone back yet![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
