Hi guys, just a quick opinion question. I have a few pennies that I feel are nice enough to be put in air tights. But, going on ebay and or Amazon, a lot of 15 penny air tights costs just slightly less than a lot of 50. I only have about 4 coins that I want in airtights. So, what do you think? Buy small for more expensive per unit or buy in bulk for cheaper per unit?

Buy in bulk and then you will need to acquire the coins to fill them

I buy all mine at valley coin. They are 39 cents each for any size through the H-40's.

The shipping charge is I think 6.50 for any size order so if you need any
other coin supplies you could add to the order check there.

i would put them in 2x2's until I had enough to put in air tights. I find 2x2's store so much nicer in pages,and easier to view, plus the advantage of being able to write info on the actual holder.
Rest in Peace

I like the self seal 2x2's. Air tight and easy to use.

What are these "self seal 2x2's" and where do you get them? This intrigues me.

I would not buy the self seals. Thats a lot of glue in a 2x2 box and who knows what is migrating into the air and the coins. I imagine there is a reason I do not see dealers use these at shows. I recommend the normal 2x2a and a special stapler that makes flat staples that the supplies guy sells at shows I go to.
