Slightly off topic question. Sorry
Markn,
Your right about storage of the hard cases, but a question I have is does the movement of the coin in the sealed 2x2 cause the coin to rub/wear?

Currently I'm using the Renniks 2x2 cardboard flip in album as storage for my good coins.
What would be nice is if we had a hard 2x2 like the lighthouse one but thin enough to still fit in albums.

Cheers
Peter

To be honest they hardly move around at all. The bigger coins are held pretty tightly by the SAFLIP especially once it is heat sealed. Smaller coins just don't have the mass to overcome the friction between the coin and the SAFLIP. Medium sized coins (think shillings) will move around if you tap the holder. But 99.9% of the time my coins are in coin pages which provide an extra level of pressure to keep the coins still. And those folders are sitting in a safe most of the time and not moving about.

I'd certainly be a lot more concerned about coins moving around in ill fitting capsules. Even Eagle mounts (one of the most respected coin holders there are) allow coins to move around in them.

With markin
I very much doubt that a bit Mylar or cardboard will harm a coin

I did a clean out a few months ago. As I said back then, it makes you realise how much you have learnt in the process and how much CRAP you store thinking that it is good! Imagine if we were limited to the number of coins that we were able to keep!
