<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2699682, member: 84179&quot;]Storage and coin removal are the problem areas.&nbsp; If the staples aren&#039;t pressed flush against the cardboard, they can come in contact with another coin in in a 2x2 storage box.&nbsp; Most of us have had to deal with boxes that are filled tight, and sliding a coin out that has protruding metal is not a good thing if it contacts the mylar window of the adjacent coin.&nbsp; The other area is removing coins from a 2x2&#039;s.&nbsp; If you&#039;re very careful you will minimize the risk, but most long time collectors can tell you horror stories.</p><p><br /></p><p>Always take the time to press the back of the staples flush with a clean pair of pliers (you can also by the &quot;flush&quot; stapler, but I still think the leave some of the staple sticking out.&nbsp; I prefer to remove coins from stapled 2x2&#039;s by cutting the mylar.&nbsp; Still a small risk but better IMO than trying to avoid the staples.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
