As these won't fit in 2x2s, how do you (or would you) store them?  (sample auction photo as I do not own a specimen myself) |

I use 2.5 x 2.5 inch stapled cardboard coin flips. Wizard Coin Supply sells them--not sure about Brooklyn Coin.

A 2x2 double pocket saflip holds my 1835 10 kopek coin... barely! The second pocket is great for holding a paper insert with information.

Thank you.
So, mylar flips or oversize cardboard flips. Options noted.
Any other possibilities?

I have one wooden coin box (velvet inside) for bigger coins. These 5 kopecks are without extra protection but others are in plastic capsules also. All the normal size coins are in 2x2 cardboards in binders.

For real huge medals I have also picked up some 3 x 3 plastic flips. Huge! Sadly they also are very difficult to separate.

I have a 1768 5 Kopek, it is huge. Op is right it will
not fit in any type of 2X2.
Have not tried the 2 1/2 X 2 1/2. If it fits in those
then how do you store the bigger flip.

There are row boxes that fit 2.5" x 2.5" flips. There are short versions and long versions.

I store nearly all the coins I have in ziploc bags (more often than not, with multiple coins per bag).
So for the larger stuff like the 5 kopek (I think there are a few other similarly large coins in my collection, but I can't recall what they are) I just try not to use the smallest ziploc bags (though these days they rarely come in any less than 8 by 6 centimeters, which can fit just about anything short of jumbo bullion, and if needed can even fit a 2x2).

I have some larger Hartberger coin holders and I assume most here refer to them as 2.5x2.5's. There are special pages for coin albums to fit those in. I also have a few larger coins in plastic capsules.
