Recently I have been buying a few 1 ounce silver bullion coins. I have been trying to put them in Morgan dollar 2X2's but the fit is a little snug. Do they make 2X2's for coins like them? If not, how do you store yours? Thanks,

2.5x2.5's will be a better fit.

Not well advertised but that is the size you need.

Your right, I have never heard of them. I'll pick some up on my next trip to the coin store.
Rest in Peace

Sometimes you can find ASE 2*2s.

The 2.5x2.5s are also sometimes referred to as Crown size holders. Of course, using a larger holder size means that you will also need a wider storage box or new pocket pages.

Whitman makes a snap together hard plastic 2x2 that'll hold ASE.

I keep them in pocket pages now so I will pick up some new pages also. The coins don't look very comfortable crammed in those little 2X2's now, can't wait to get the 2.5X2.5's.

You may find them a little hard to get at your local Brick and Morter. Not everyone carries them. You may have to order them through a supply dealer. (Kind of like SBA size 2X2's)

Your correct Conder101, called my local brick and morter, he has the 2.5X2.5's but not the pages to hold them. We are planning a trip to Columbia Mo. soon so I will check the coin shop there. If I can't wait JP's corner is only 20 miles from here.
