Does anyone know of a dealer that sells paper coin flips for the US 50 Cent slightly bigger than 30.6mm? Years ago I found a stack of 50 cent flips that were slightly larger than normal ones, say 31mm. I purchased these at Joe's coin shop at Norge Village in Long Beach, California. I asked Joe, but he could not remember where he had purchased those supplies off hand. He gave me the number of a local supplier, but they had no knowledge of any flips that had a bigger window. In fact, the US Cent, Nickel and 50 cent flips all had a bigger window which worked out great for foreign coins. The reason I ask is because these slightly larger flips hold British, Australian, Irish Pennies, French aluminum 5 Francs and a hoard of other countries coins in just the right fit. Standard US 50 cent 30.6mm are too small and US 1 Dollar flips allow the coin to roll around or slip to the bottom of the holder. I've heard about self-adhesive flips with lager windows, but I am wondering if there are any staple types out there. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Joe
You might try Wizard Coin Supply where I order my supplies from or Bags Unlimited which have some limited coin supplies but more out of the ordinary items for storage.
Have you gone on eBay/UK? Since most of your coins are from Europe, I would imagine if any one has them, the coin shops and supply outlets over there would. I have found many interesting and unusual items over in the European market. Shipping may be more, and the deliver time greater, but that's better than not finding them at all. You might run across a whole new and better holder if you ask for their recommendation.
