[QUOTE="Jeepfreak81, post: 8173541, member: 93888"]I posted recently over in the world coin forum about expanding my birth year US coin collection worldwide. As such I was thinking, how do I want to organize and store this collection of world coins. A large majority of them won't be worth a whole ton of cheddar so I'm thinking 2x2's in either 2x2 boxes or maybe a binder with 3 hole punched sheets, I have some of those already, I think they are BCW PVC free. Then I got to thinking about what I usually write on my 2x2's and also how messy they look when I'm done because I don't have the neatest writing and I often end up trying to cram things in. Which leads to the main topic of discussion here. Labels. I have a stack of 8.5"x11" sized labels/sticker paper. That's the whole sheet is a single "sticker". So at first I thought oh, perfect I'll just make my own thin labels to put at the top and bottom of each 2x2 and that's still a viable option. However, I also own a Silhouette craft cutter I use for making vinyl stickers. It will also cut this paper so I'm wondering now. How hard would it be to make basically an overlay cutout that would cover the whole front of the 2x2 sans the mylar window thus covering the ugly staples and leaving a nice neat label of information. Has anyone seen anything like this or tried it? It could be alot of work to get setup but once I have the templates saved I could make more in a matter of minutes. I think I can do 12 per sheet conservatively. The tricky part is making different sized holes for cents, dimes, quarters, nickels, half dollars, small dollars, large dollars, etc. Maybe I could just do 2 sizes that would cover them all.[/QUOTE]
