jcook54 Pillar of the Community United States 533 Posts	Posted 01/30/2007 09:31 am I use 2 x 2s. I just like them better. Advantages and disadvantages apply to both methods as far as I can tell so I just go with what I like. Easier to handle and sort through in my opinion. Maybe it's just because I grew up with these...

SteveG Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 01/30/2007 3:59 pm I prefer 2x2. The reason is that I know I'd be taking the coins out of flips all the time. And knowing me, I'll drop them or something. So I protect "me" and the coins from myself and leave them in 2x2s Report this Post to the Staff
Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 01/30/2007 10:00 pm Thx everyone. Cutting the 2 x 2 to remove a coin makes a lot of sense. I also scratched a coin not to long ago removing staples. My own fault, though. Guess I should not have been using needle nose pliers. duhhhhh Jim Report this Post to the Staff
dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 01/30/2007 10:32 pm Needle Nose Pliers? Gently! Gently! Sorry man...that brought back memories of my dilemma's when I tried to remove those darned round staples. I decided to get the flat stapler ($10) from my Coin Dealer and it really, really made the difference. They don't poke one another now and yes, cutting the staples off is much more advisable than needle nose pliers!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited by dsking 01/30/2007 10:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Tbar Valued Member United States 191 Posts	Posted 01/30/2007 11:43 pm 2x2s, airtites, and slabs. 2x2s are in a box. Airtites I keep in velvet bags for now. Still need to get some slab boxes. Report this Post to the Staff
Jim1953 Pillar of the Community United States 2600 Posts	Posted 02/01/2007 09:41 am Thank you everyone. Airtites for valuable coins from here on out. 2 x 2 for everything else and no pliers. Jim Report this Post to the Staff
