[QUOTE="kanga, post: 276159, member: 9270"]I'd worry about some of the chemicals in the glue of the self-adhesive 2x2's. I [U]don't[/U] KNOW that there's a problem, but better safe than sorry. I use the type of 2x2's that require staples. And I keep some channel locks handy for crimping the staples. But there are some self-crimping staplers out there. Never tried them so I don't know how good they are. My inexpensive coins go into 2x2's. My sets go into Intercept Shield albums, but only the inexpensive and moderately priced coins. All my expensive coins are in slabs and that's where they'll stay. Inexpensive/Moderate/Expensive are strictly your definition. BTW, a comment on [U]safes[/U]. It looks like the insurance company mentioned by the better TPGs requires that the safe be at least a Class B (2 hour) safe. A Class C (1 hour) safe is [U]NOT[/U] sufficient. They ain't cheap. A new night table sized safe will be $500-1000.[/QUOTE]
