<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tulipone, post: 2718769, member: 71656&quot;]I found this a struggle at the beginning of collecting.&nbsp; There is no good answer for all as value is relative.&nbsp; An example is that I had a bucket of old predecimal copper coins.&nbsp; If I put them all in 2x2 flips it would have cost a fortune and as the coins are barely worth the cost of the flip, pointless.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I did was to sort them and kept the best of each type and year.&nbsp; I did this carefully as variants creep in sometimes and you have to know what you are looking at.&nbsp; I put the reduced number into flips and documented what I have.&nbsp; I know what I have, know what I don&#039;t have and have hopefully protected those that I want.&nbsp; I wish I could tell you that I got rid of the rest of the bucket but the OCD part of me just cannot.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I write on the flips?&nbsp; Now nothing apart from a small pencil number that refers to a database key.&nbsp; I have written metal composition, mint, year, type, variant etc and again that OCD meant I had to change the flip when something changes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Only you will know what is tight for what you want to do and I am sure that others will be able to offer better stories than I.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
