TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 07/14/2009 10:21 pm I have tried using the cardboard flips you fold over and staple but there isn't much room to staple and the flip doesn't close tightly. Any suggestions? Are there albums to hold air tites? Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 189594 Posts	Posted 07/15/2009 10:32 am You are right, those full size dollar 2x2's are not very durable. Every time I bought an Eisenhower dollar in one, I was nervous until I could get them home! By the way, I keep my Eisenhower dollars in a Dansco album!

yotie Pillar of the Community United States 3077 Posts	Posted 07/15/2009 10:35 am think they make a 2.25 x2.25 flip but the coin shop I have bought some Ikes from uses a coffee can the other shop has a cigar box Report this Post to the Staff

TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 07/15/2009 5:30 pm I have never seen a Dansco album in person. Do the coins rattle in the pages? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189594 Posts	Posted 07/15/2009 5:53 pm No, the dollars are very snug in them. It is the only album I have where the plastic slides are danger close to the coins.

Not if you use Gorilla glue on them. Then they will not move ever. Just kidding of course. As for those flips. If you place the dollar in them, fold them over tightly, tape the ends instead of staples, they will not only close completely, but no staples to flatten or get stuck on other flips. I use tape on all such sized coins in 2x2's. Has worked for many, many, years. Report this Post to the Staff

novillero Valued Member United States 290 Posts	Posted 07/16/2009 5:37 pm My Ikes are in a Dansco. No worries, just make sure they are fully in before you slide your plastic. Report this Post to the Staff
