    I dug out some old mailing envelopes of purchases that I have not looked at in some time. Decided it would be a good time to crack some of them out of the old cardboard 2x2's and put them in some PVC-free Flips. I loaded the 2x2 MS Word template to label
    each of them. It was a fun project. :woot:

    I can't figure your lower left code. At first I figured it was a pricing code but some are EBay so it's a code for where you got the coin but why do you need that in the future?

    Just curious/ nosey

    Please explain to me how you get the holes in the 2x2's or if the coins are just set on the print outs, how do you keep them in place ?. If these are regular 2x2 holders than how do you print them ?

    The lower left code is for my cost code, except for when I forgot to record it or when I did not have an invoice with a cost price on it. So then I just put eBay on it, since that is probably where I bought it.

    Most of these are what are called 2x2 flips, 1 side for paper insert & 1 side for the coin, then folded over, so the coin is on top side, paper insert is on bottom side as the background.


    Here is a 2.5x2.5 flip unfolded with the paper insert in one side & the $2.50 gold coin in a 2x2 Whitman plastic holder inserted into the 2nd side of the flip.

    The inserts are printed in MS Word on a standard sheet of paper and then cut
    apart to be inserted into one side of the flip.
