[QUOTE="ranchhand, post: 167237, member: 2622"]none. I remove all of my coins from the cardboard holders, the coins either go: 1. to a TPG for slabbing 2. into a dansco album 3. into an airtite Here is a tip on how i remove coins from the 2x2 cardboard holders to minimize the risk of staple damage: I get a soft cloth and lay it down as my work surface I then use an xacto knife to cut the milar film a tthe pint where it touches the cardboard (i cut through all the way to the other side) I pull the cardboard up and the coin stays put, in a mylar sandwich. coin goes into its new home. I have never had a coin damaged this way, but i also have very steady hands and years of working on model kits, so i know my way around an xacto. this can get tricky with large size coins that are stuffed into the 2x2's (like morgans) but i rarely purchase anyting bigger then a half dollar.[/QUOTE]
