Silver Dollars Too Big For 2x2s

I have not had a problem with that on my 2x2s. Could you post some pics?

the cardboard 2x2s do kind of distort on larger coins. but I use 2x2 binder pages so hard capsules not an option.

i seal the edges with a white sticker, if worried about off gassing from tape adhesive then use Saflips.

I wish I could say the same. For the large dollar coins, I probably use an average of three 2x2s trying to get it right.

I prefer to up-size my holders (half dollars in large dollar holders, quarters and baby dollars in half dollar holders, etc). This extra Mylar is much more flexible than the cardboard. The problem is that I cannot up-size the holder for the large dollars without moving to a 2.5x2.5 holder.

I've always had this problem (and was beginning to wonder if it was just me) and went to the 2.5 x 2.5 flips... I just leave them that size though... I actually like the size, as I store in boxes, not pages.

I too used to wonder why some dealers have Silver Dollars in 2x2's that bulge at the edges and others just fit flat. Then I stated to ask dealers. Many at coin shows told me it is a tuff mess finding out which 2x2's are which. By that you have to find that there are many manufacturers of 2x2's. Some have the cardboard thicker than others. Some have it so no room for a Silver Dollar inspite of them saying for Silver Dollars. On some the platic is thincker making it so the coins put in don't strecth a bit while others allow the plastic to stretch enough for a better fit of the Silver Dollars. The problem is finding out which is which since none have the manufacturer's name or identifying info on them. At many coin shows and coin stores the 2x2's are sold in bundles, not in a company's package so you just don't know.
The only thing I could figure out how to do anything is to buy a Silver Dollar in a 2x2 where it fits well. Change the coin for one you want, sell the one you got in the 2x2.
