Organizing Coins Without Flips

Thanks! I went ahead and ordered a bunch of Saflips and 2x2 slot pages from JP's Corner. Will begin to tackle it some rainy day, likely with the help of a six-pack of cold beer.

chesterb, you're right. The coins in Saflips do have some wiggle room. I just try to handle them carefully and I don't put my best stuff in notebooks or boxes that are in regular use, so I figure there is not too much shifting around going on -- but I really don't have anything truly valuable that isn't slabbed/slobbed -- and even those have mostly sentimental value.

Just to clarify, as I see some using of both terms for one thing, "flips" are the clear plastic things that Dave uses. 2x2s are the cardboard squares with the circle in the middle covered with film cut to the size of the intended coin.

Personally, I am not a big fan of storing coins in flips. I have them to use to ship stuff to ANACS and sometimes coins I sell, but otherwise I don't use them for my coins. The bulk of my coins are in 2x2s, with others in air tights and slabs. I purchase most of my stuff from JPs corner too. Wizard (which is located about 15 minutes from me, but stuff ships through West VA LOL) is another good supply site. I primarily get my books from them.

I may have to do a Desk like this part two and compare storage methods folks use in pics...

I have used Saflips for permanent storage. I used an impulse sealer to seal the coin in.
