Sure thing - here is what I sent to nina:
"I assume you are talking about these:

No-FG-JFK-Halves

I have a bunch with 2X2's. Years ago I had a lot of coins in the pockets with Scotch "Magic Tape" across the tops of the pockets to hold the coins in. All was well as long as it was always kept stored upright. This was all before we knew PVC caused the icky green slime to form on coins. I had a lot of cleaning up to do. :(

Overall I like this system, but have a few complaints:
1. After awhile the weight of the coins does tend to rip even the Cowens brand - which is the toughest out there.
2. Album-sized pages take up a lot less space for storage.

I am presently using 2X2's and these sheets for my best stuff. But I had bought the (el cheapo price - but great in my opinion) Wizard Coin albums that helped me rescue the coins from the thumbcut sheets until I could get them into 2X2s and back into the thumbcuts.

I found I like the size of albums so much more, but hate the cardboard as I lost coins to this also in the past in Whitman folders! I am thinking of making my own triple layer plexiglass album pages. If they work I might even decide to take orders if someone else likes them."

edited for syntax after proofreading here. Wow nina - I sure hope you could make sense out of the version I sent you! Can I lay blame on that I just found out I forgot my meds - or do I have to just admit to being inept

it totally ruins the whole thing. I need to measure twice and cut once.

Ah, my third box is not a total failure. Found a 1972-D No FG half. Pretty happy with that.
