<p>[QUOTE="rzage, post: 1725358, member: 14070"]Any well made 2X2 will protect your coins if you use them right and check them often enough , just make sure the staple edges are flat or into the cardboard . Still for any MS or proof coin that is worth more than bullion the hard plastic holders are the only way to go . I once had a beautiful Barber dime that I bought in a 2X2 and left it in there . It was at least a 63 and more than likely a 65 . Well it was in my safety deposit box for a few years . I asked my wife to get all the coins out so I could catalog them . She grabbed them and threw them into a large clothe bag . When I got to the Dime I noticed the plastic was ripped . Seems a staple that was sticking up put a nice scratch thru her cheek while bouncing around in the bag , granted my wife wasn't a collector and figured they were all safe in there little holders so she kind of tossed the bag down on the chair and probably the car seat . I still have that dime as it has toned some beautiful colors , and I love everything about it but that big ole scratch that wouldn't be there if I used a hard plastic holder .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
