<p>[QUOTE="The Virginian, post: 893658, member: 15201"]I think storage conditions have as much to do with coins changing color or corroding as the holder. I will say to each his own and far beit for me to criticize another collector's choice in holders, but I stand by my statement that the staple 2x2s and even the inert mylar flips do not offer very good protection for coins. The mylar is thin on the staple 2x2s and in the one photo, you can see the rectangular coin almost piercing the mylar. The cardboard on these is often not acid free and has caused coins to change color over the long term. As far as looks go, the 2x2s and flips just look cheap, even for inexpensive coins. On larger coins, both holders do not offer the stability that Eagle or Capital offer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
