<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 265913, member: 4552"]Really? Buy as many as you can for that. Even at coin shows they sell for about $2.5 for a box of 100. There are two different thicknesses I've seen at coin shows and the heavier one are $3.00 per 100. Many people use those plastic sheets that hold 20 - 2x2's and then put them in a 3 ringed binder. Another thing is many, many dealers have switched to 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" sizes of flips. </p><p>As to scratches from one touching another, very common. Yes it is the staples. I flatten all mine with a special pliers that is hinged so the end pieces close directly together and not on an angle. However, if you have the stadard Swingline stapler you will notice the bottom plate where the staple hits is removable. If you can find a flat steel plate that fits in that spot, remove the one that is there and put the flat plate there instead. The problem, though is the plate is a directional piece for the staples so if using a flat plate some ends will go out and some wil go inward. I like my hindged pliers best.</p><p><br /></p><p>I basically use Whitman Classic Albums for all coins and the duplicates go into 2x2's.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
