[QUOTE="Ed Snible, post: 3671369, member: 82322"]Notice that the insert is in the pocket that normally holds the tag. It only looks like it is framing the coin. The coin rests in the other pocket, as usual. If you do nothing coins tend to stay in place, especially if the coins are thick and your flips are stiff. However, enough of them moved that I looked for a solution to hold each coin in the center of its flip pocket. A friend of mine who used to work as a dealer gave me a used flip sealer similar to [URL='https://www.coinsupplyexpress.com/impulse-coin-flip-sealer.html']this one[/URL]. Instead of using it for its intended purpose I would "seal" a line or a V below the coin to keep it from descending beneath the "frame". This did not work for the non-PVC Saflips brand 2x2s that I prefer. They would "seal", but the seal would break. It is possible the brand of sealer I used didn't get hot enough for Saflips. I gave up without finding a great solution. If anyone tries this and finds a sealer that can melt a permanent bond in E&T Kointainer-brand Saflips let me know.[/QUOTE]
