<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 268340, member: 4552"]Not sure of what you mean by cheap. I too keep most of my 2x2's in those. The ones I use are like the ones in that add for the real long ones in red. Mine have a divider down the center and hold about 300 2x2's depending on if using the heavy type ones or the light weight ones. So far at every coin show I go to they sell for $5 each. That is $5 for one lousy cardboard box. I now have 9 of those and at that price I don't consider them cheap but better than nothing. </p><p>As to those sheets that hold 20 of the 2x2's, I've been using those for many, many years. I only put the better coins in 2x2's and then in those plastic sheets. I've got about 50 or more in a large 3 ringed binder and those coins have been there for many, many years. Not one single coins has been effected by anything. None have turned colors, toned, corroded, etc. </p><p>Recently someone posted an experiment to prove about the uses of PVC. I took one of those sheets and used it for one of many experiments. Nothing. Of course there are many different brands and I know I have at least 3 different kinds. So far I'm happy with no bad results of contamination. I have many individual proof coins in those. Not even a glimmer of a haze.</p><p>I'll let you know more in a few hundred years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
