Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 02:08 am Cardboard flips are nice you can write on them etc. Never ever keep cents in folders. Albums are nice but more expensive. Same concept but keeps them safer and you see both sides. Report this Post to the Staff
LincolnCentMeHere Pillar of the Community United States 558 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 02:24 am I love the idea of being able to write on the flips. And you make a good point about seeing the backside. This will come in handy as I replace lower grades with better ones. Flips it is...thank you! Report this Post to the Staff
Hello There Pillar of the Community United States 1191 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 02:42 am Instead of the flips, I use 2x2s. My main collection goes into albums and the duplicates into 2x2s. Report this Post to the Staff

If you are doing a date set of a single denomination of U.S. coins, with coins in circulated grades, perhaps a standard printed album is quite appropriate. In this sort of case, the coins do not need individual description. If you are into ancient coins, every coin will need a description atached to it, and the mylar / cardboard provides the facility for doing this. There may well come the time when you end up getting a few slabbed coins. Storage of slabs can 'throw a spanner in the works', because slabbed coins require quite differnt storage approaches which are quite incompatible with coins stored in an album. Separate slab albums and boxes are available, but these storage methods are still quite incompatible with coins stored in an album. Report this Post to the Staff

If you want to collect rolls of coins; I use round clear plastic tubes, although some prefer the frosted square ones. You'll get the hang of things when you have some collecting time under you belt.

Lilly Bird Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 09:56 am The CARDBOARD 2 X 2's are OK but they are difficult to easily get coins in and out of (staples). The Safety FLIPS have inserts that are interchangeable. I type onto stickers that I then place on the flip insert and use them again and again. That being said when my coins grew I wanted an album so I got one. And, as I purchase mainly nicer coins, I now have ALL albums for most of my coins and flips for non US and non-Canada coins as well as duplicates. I do have some in the cardboard 2 X 2's because they were sold to me that way or the coin was to be left there permanently and the card boards are cheaper. Report this Post to the Staff
