<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1521185, member: 15445&quot;]A plastic flip typically has two 2&quot; x 2&quot; pockets.&nbsp; The flip begins 2&quot; x 4&quot; &amp; you fold it in half so that the two pockets are back-to-back.&nbsp; Typically a coin is put in one pocket &amp; a piece of paper (card stock) is placed in the other pocket.&nbsp; I&#039;ll try to get you a photo or link depicting a flip.&nbsp; Only use flips that are PVC free.&nbsp; PVC is a plasticizer that makes the flip soft &amp; flexible.&nbsp; Soft &amp; flexible is not good for long term archival storage of coins.&nbsp; The PVC can out-gas &amp; get on the coins if they are stored for extended time in the soft flip.&nbsp; You should use only hard brittle flips that are designed specifically without the softening plasticizer. </p><p><br /></p><p>Basically, if you open the package of flips &amp; it smell like a shower curtain, then they probably are soft &amp; should not be used for extended storage.&nbsp; (They would only be good for short term storage or mailing of coins).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
