I am struggling to find anywhere that I can buy big bulk in order to get price per unit down as much as possible 2x2's I cant seem to find for under about 7p per unit. I have found some on ebay in the US for bulk, but because of the massive postage costs, works out about 7p still Any help would be appreciated Thanks

I usually get mine from ValleyCoin.com. They are Cowens brand and I like to know what brand I'm getting.

I agree with Duke, valleycoin is the best, quality stuff, good prices and fast shipping. I love the Cowens stuff too.

Thanks guys, perfect, works out about a third of the price of what I was going to pay :)
Out of curiosity, can coins react with capsules?

Wizard coin supply usually has low prices. On their web site there are 2x2 flips listed for $1.95. Only problem is I couldn't find out how many that was for.

7p is a lot for a single flip. I thought I had it bad at 5 cents CAD.

Valley coin is great, there are some bits on there that are really going to come in handy.
I hadn't heard of Cowens before, I assume my coins are safe in cowens flips? Also, the 2x2 pages for a 3 ring binder are cheap, are my coins safe in these? I have been told before that even in flips in the folders, coins will/can eventually react?

I buy them in bulk up to 5,000 at a time from BCW Supplies. I don't have the link handy at the moment. I only know their wholesale URL off the top of my head. A quick Google search might reveal it. They are usually pretty cheap, I'd have to say between 2-4 cents each, depending on quantity. March is their re-order time frame so some of the items may be out of stock. If your a dealer, have a business license and tax ID you might get accepted for a wholesale account, and save alot of cash on your supplies. http://www.bcwsupplies.com/cat/coin-suppliesThats is the link above for the retail side. 2x2 flips (various sizes) is about $3.40 per 100 price per 100 drops to 2.37 each if you order a case (5,000 count) (50 packs of 100 x 2.37 each)

Coinaholic, on the valleycoin site, I did a test run for 5000 2x2's (cowens, which people seem to trust)
It came out at under 100$ for the 2x2's and they had a $15 postage option to the uk,
So I think that is under £70 in our money for 5000, which works out to £1.40 per 100!
I assume your in the same boat as me, uk you can't get them for under 7p each!

Try your local dealer. Dealers order wholesale, and if the order is large enough you might get a big price break, especially from a dealer who will probably sell you the coins to fill them.
