[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1678403, member: 15929"]when I remove coins from 2x2's that are stapled together, there is absolutely no possible way for them to get damaged by the staples. NONE! There used to be, and I may have damaged some in the process but.............. not since I was told how to do it! Most folks try to tear the 2x2 open which in turn exposes those ugly coin ruining staples. While both hands are on the 2x2 edges, the coin is free to fall or move anywhere! The correct method is to simply forget about saving the 2x2 and instead puncture the plasticine cello. Then bend the 2x2 on the puncture mark and voila! The cello tears exposing the coin which is then easily listed from the torn 2x2. Ahh but back to the subject of Clutchy's question, TPG will not accept coins submitted in 2x2's. Only Flips. AND, as I stated earlier, plastic flips cannot damage a CnClad coin. Flips made of 400 Grit Sandpaper might, but certainly not plastic.[/QUOTE]
