Let me add one more detail about using the 2x2 cardboard holders. (Much of my collection is housed in them). After you staple the 2x2, the staples will be protruding on one side. When the 2x2s are placed in the plastic pages, the protruding staples tend to hold them in the plastic pages. However, when the 2x2s are taken out of the plastic pages, those protruding staples can very easily tear the Mylar & scratch the coins in other 2x2 holders. Sooner or later a couple of the 2x2s will be out of the plastic pages and they will scrape together possibly scratching a coin. (Murphy’s Law assures that it will be your favorite coin that receives the scratch). Therefore, I recommend that you flatten the protruding staples with a pair of pliers even though you are storing the 2/2s in plastic pages.</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Very best regards,</font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">collect89</font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
