[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2534134, member: 10461"]This is excellent, and I've evolved a nearly identical system only in the last year or so. Started doing this around the millennium, when I first learned to use a computer and word processing program, and pretty much "invented the wheel" all on my own. It's kind of validating to see how my system evolved so similarly. By "evolved a nearly identical system only in the last year or so", I mean the alternating pockets, with coin-label-coin-label on each row, two coins and two labels per row, ten each per page. I like that. Nice round number, and you can read both sides of the tags/labels without the coin being in front of them. As to putting the coin itself in a staple-type, cardboard/Mylar 2x2, I have thought about doing that, as those are less prone to slide out of the pocket pages. But right now, the coins are in an otherwise empty clear 2x2 safety flip just like the labels are. I do keep them in a zippered binder to prevent them from being lost if any do slip out of the pocket pages.
