Very nice Andre

The printed years really add a nice touch to the display.

The problem with 2x2 and other soft holders is the chemical used to make plastic soft (as in soft vinil flips) that degrades and damages the coin over time.

Rule of thumb: the harder the plastic the better. I am not sure about this particular album you have. I used to have my coins in similar albums (SafetyGard) and my MS-64++ cupro-nickels literally melted the plastic and I had to peel the coins out of the holders. The coins are now pocket change.

Hi Andre,

I would not put cupro-nickels... OK maybe just one coin for testing purposes. Mine took 8 years to degrade (or until I noticed it).
