[QUOTE="CW5000, post: 463443, member: 16111"]I've got a newbie question.... Let me explain first that I am starting to collect modern US coins from circulation (as of now :D) so I bought cardboard 2 X 2's to keep in 3-hole binder pages. I figured that would be good enough for circulated coins. I also bought "safety flips" for coins that may be worth a little more in the future (hopefully) The "safety flips" are all plastic. (PVC free) BUT they come with cardboard inserts. The flips look like they are able to fold over so I could fit them in my binder pages. Here's the newbie question(s).... Since I usually can figure things out on my own, I feel stupid for asking but, HOW do these D**n things work????? If I put the cardboard in I won't be able to see both sides, like a 2 X 2!!!! If I get two of the same coin so I can show both sides, they won't fit in the binder pages.......Also would I staple them as well???? AAGGHHHHHH! Could someone please help reletively intelligent man who happens to feel very stupid at the moment. :( Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]
