Just a word on holders,i purchased some Oz. Florins a few years ago,one was in a plastic holder like a saflip and where the tongue was folded back into the holder a black semi-circles was left on the coin.It was some sort of reaction between the silver and the plastic so there are some cheap imitations on the market.

2x2s are very expensive compared to saflips and cant be reused either. Do you put them into album pages PP? Yes the Saflips fit in the 20 pocket album pages just like cardboard 2x2's do. I'm always pulling my coins in and out maybe for a photo and the Saflips are great for this. |

I have some coins that I love to bust out and look at more often so maybe they're a good idea. I have a small ancients collection and perhaps they would be prefect for that because on one side I can have all the information.

I use 2x2 for my good coins and put them in purple penny folders ***free plug*** http://www.thepurplepenny.com/419,-...p-pages.htmlI like the small ones because I can't over fill them and they are not as heavy for me. Plus you can stack them or put them away in a small space. |

Mine are currently in 2x2s and housed in 24 pocket polypropylene pages I once had for storing 35mm slides, and housed in a filing cabinet. Ideally I'd like them housed in albums so as to be more accessible, but there's the cost of buying all new pages for binders, plus the binders themselves  My spares are in 2x2s or plastic bank baggies, but there's coins spread out all over the place here.....  |

Rennicks has the best range of coin storage systems available
Sourced from Europe,their Lighthouse mylars and Albums are world leaders in storage technology and PVC Free.
In Australia Ian Pitt is the importer,his inventory is totally awesome

Lighthouse have a large range of accessories available and not all of those are pvc free. Take care when choosing for your own collection.

My main sets are in 2x2's then albums, other coins and spares are 2x2 then boxed.
Everything goes into a big steel box that is part of the building.
Albums are stored laying flat, not stored standing upright. This is to remove the weight of the coins pulling on the rings of the binder.

One problem I've noticed with the Renniks 2x2's is the mylar is rather tight, and sometimes it can split when holdering up a coin, exposing it to the elements  The adhesive isn't the tightest, either, and I staple them up for security - they tend to come apart otherwise. The Importa Dutch(?) ones that are almost the same as Renniks in design are better quality, the mylar's got a bit of give in it. |

cowans 2x2's harder to staple but the extra thick cardboard actually protects the coins, normal holders are thin, cowans are thicker and actually keep the coin within the thickness of the holder and give much more protection.
