So I have finally comitted to starting a custom folder for some of my coins, organized as a series of 2x2 flips with ID info in a few album pages. I have plenty of 2x2 cardboard flips, but I am looking for something that will allow me to easily remove, upgrade, and rearrange as the set grows and evolves.
I know that I need to find the non-PVC flips, but I have heard conflicting things about saflips versus rigid vinyl. What's the scoop / where should I buy them? I am looking to keep costs as low as possible for coin storage, to leave more in my budget for actual coins!
FWIW, the finished product will be a Japanese type set, consisting of everything from Tokugawa coinage (cash of varying sizes and gold/silver bars) through modern pocket change and commemoratives. The earlier coins will include the very large 100 mon (which should barely fit in a 2x2 at a 45° angle) and the extremely thick (5-8mm thick) mameita gin. For that reason, I am leaning away from the rigid flips and toward something more flexible.
Thanks for any help and input!
