Yes, a very nice die clash! 2x2 worthy. Nice find!

@hermz, yep nice so-called "Prisoner Cent"--worth putting in a 2x2.

Nice Obv & Rev clash. 2x2 cardboard flips works perfect for most coins.

Thanks for the input, I believe these holders I use are pvc free but will invest in some 2x2 after the apocalypse is over.

But anyway as for now this beauty is no longer in circulation

I use 2x2 ((( non ))) pvc flips. I gotta learn to proof read before I submit

I honestly don't know what the foam in those round holders may or may not do to a coin, but generally I think 2x2 holders are used for other reasons.

First, they make it easy to label the coins. Which a straight coin all you need is to be able to see it, but with an error or variety you need to be able to label what it is. So having some white space to do that is really helpful.

Second, cost. Storage stuff for coins can get expensive so keeping things down on a per coin basis is helpful.

Last, organization. Every Sunday morning I file the doubles I've found during the week. This would be a real mess in anything but easy to deal with 2x2's, where I can easily see what's what and just stuff them into the doubles files correctly. Shown is what I'm talking about.

Hope this helps. I really like that clash you found, as it's an excellent example, and having it stored well and with a label will be helpful to you down the road to keep it safe and be able to locate it when you want to pull it out for a look.
