Sean1011 Valued Member United States 152 Posts	Posted 08/19/2008 6:01 pm I only have five 2x2's so I take the time to type out just the name of the coin such as (1917 Mercury dime) and then I cut it out and glue it to the top of the 2x2 away from the plastic and everything. Its very time consuming, but it gives me something to do, and I think it looks very nice. Report this Post to the Staff

For some reason, I do this to all of my 2X2's which includes date, type, and grade. It takes literally forever but I enjoy how it looks once I am done with it. Report this Post to the Staff
chrsb Pillar of the Community United States 936 Posts	Posted 08/19/2008 6:29 pm I bought these-http://www.jakesmp.com/CSD_Flips/CSD_flips_inserts_03_M.html then down loaded a excel spreadsheet somewhere (can not remember where). The only thing is I bought them a year ago and they are still in the original shipping package never opened, someday I will get to labeling all of my stuff. Report this Post to the Staff

ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 08/20/2008 4:42 pm I'd say my labelling system is as incoherent as my collection. Coins from every country, varying millenia, current and defunct countries are imitated in the black, red, blue and green ballpoint pen, the purple, orange, green, black, blue, magenta, and pink felt tipped pens that label the different kinds of 2x2s. (Tabbed, not tabbed, thick, thin, older and new.) The -only- thing that must remain the same is the labelling schematic, which is as illustrated. Of course, special notes can mean anything at all, like KM or Y number, Monarch, mintage, who was the source of acquisition, day of the week, etc. Image: 2x2.jpg 8.75 KB Report this Post to the Staff
