[QUOTE="TaterTot, post: 2172601, member: 74622"]When using these pages for 2x2s, is it necessary to have every coin in a mylar flip first? Will the fall out otherwise? I'm looking to put together a simple collection of modern quarters out of circulation. Putting them all into flips, and then into pages, especially since I'm using Saflips, doesn't seem very economical. Take for instance the cost of a Dansco Washington Quarters album. About $30, holds around 166 quarters. To do this with my custom method (which I thought would save money...) [INDENT]4 x 50 packs of Saflips = $31.16 (yikes) 2 x 100 packs of inserts = $3.18 9 x 20-slot 2x2 pages = $11.25 PVC-free Binder = $6 Total: $51.59[/INDENT] Was thinking the custom route would be more economical, and allow me to define my own 'albums' rather than get pre-made ones and end up with empty pages that I wasn't interested in. I enjoy "short sets" and there aren't really "short set albums." :( ... maybe I'll just grab some of those cardboard folders for $3 bucks after all... :wideyed:[/QUOTE]
