[QUOTE="wcoins, post: 1867549, member: 32035"]What kind of 2x2 are you people using? Cardboard coming off, staples, compressed air :eek:...why would you put your coins in those cheap things? There are high quality 2x2's out there, bit more expensive but totally worth it. Lighthouse (Leuchtturm), Lindner, Hartberger, are all great brands. They leave no cardboard behind, it won't come off with age, they don't require staples. I would never staple one of my 2x2's. The only thing is to make sure you use larger diameter 2x2 than your coin diameter, so that the edge of the coin won't make contact with the glue on the holder. All my coins are in 2x2's and never had a single problem. Those staples may rust with time, if you use an album and place those stapled 2x2's one on top of another....poor coins on the last album page will have to support pounds of weight, and those staples may cause problems not only to album pages, but to coins themselves. You can buy 1000 of those 2x2's for about 50 euros, that's little more than a nickel a piece. [ATTACH=full]314882[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
