John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/03/2016 07:52 am I see no problem with 2x2's as long as they are newer. The old ones had problems. Since you use the staple kind like I do make sure to flatten the staples. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 12/03/2016 08:06 am For inexpensive coins 2x2's are acceptable. (NOTE: You determine what "inexpensive" is for your purposes.) In general I also avoid 2x2's for silver coins. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 12/03/2016 9:12 pm Mylar 2x2 cardboard holders are all that I use. My collection is worth perhaps multiple tens of thousands of dollars, and I have been using this sort of 2x2 for more decades than I care to remember. Report this Post to the Staff

Got bargains once from ebay seller and I knew they were wrong the moment I opened the package. Report this Post to the Staff
