<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 463508, member: 66"]Well you do kind of have to use the insert, or else you have a coin in a flip with no identification. If you really want to put them in the vinyl pages and still be able to see both sides of the coin you could put the pocket with the coin in the page and leave the pocket with the card on the outside. Write the information on the card so that it is visible when the flip is folded down and the card covers the coin. Now the card tells you what is there and to see one side you lift the card. To see the other you turn the page over.</p><p><br /></p><p>Frankly most people don't store coins in flips in vinyl pages for just that reason, you can't see both sides. But frankly if you are going to store them in the pages the 2X2's will work just fine for even more valuable coins. Flips work better for storing coins in the 2X2 boxes because you have to take them out to see them anyway, and with the flips you don't have to worry about the staples from one coin scratching the next one as they are pulled in and out of the box.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like Desertgems solution too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
