Your printed 2x2s are really impressive! It seems to enhance the general appearance of the pennies as well, quite amazing actually. Thanks for sharing!

How far back to you go?
Meant to say, do you have BU's back any farther?

How exactly did you manage to print to the 2X2's? They do in fact enhance the look of the collection.

I don't think he printed on the 2x2 but I think he printed on a label and affixed the label to the 2x2... if you look close it looks like there's two shades of different white... one is the label on the top and bottom.. the other is the white 2x2..

I'm glad you guys like it! Thank You! because it sure is time consuming and COSTLY! more then I thought it would cost but then again did I really have to do both sides? My dang OCD! @shafta, my collection goes back to 1920 and B.U from 1950 on @pennybox, it is a printer label hand held by brothers. You can buy them at staples. I got mine on sale half price for around $25.00. But the tape for them is costly! DONT BUY THE TAPE FROM STAPLES, You can buy the tape on ebay from an American seller for half the price. |

Why are you using 2X2's? If you use 1 1/2 X 1 1/2's, you get 30 coins to a page, save money on the holders, and have way more than enough room to write everything that you want on the smaller holder. I use 1 1/2 X 1 1/2's for my Victoria LARGE CENTS and have room to write all the variety data and main markers on them, along with the date, grade, cleaned, etc on only one side. You certainly have room to put your small cents in those smaller holders.

Yes! Consistency counts. That pops right out, crisp and clean. I'm planning on using my older Brother handheld to label more of mine, particularly once I get around to setting up my expanded 7070 using 2x2's. and pages. This gives me great ideas of How TO...Thanks! Edited by Crazyb0

I'm sure there's an "Avery" label you could get with a template that could help you print those labels a bit easier

@ Silverfox2010. Now I get it... upon close examination yes I also notice the labels but still, it makes for a really impressive display. I thought perhaps you used a business card type setting to enable printing directly onto a 2x2. My own printer, to even try something like that, I can just bet it would spit them out upside-down or sideways just to annoy me.

Thanks everyone for your awesome opinions, Great Stuff! I was planning on only doing my pennies but now I'm thinking about doing my silver 50 cents and my Silver 1992 Province quarters. Once you start It's addicting! @wildflower,I was wondering if anyone would be fooled thinking it was printed right on the Myler  @agcoinau, the label maker I'm using has 10 templates you can use and I'm using 3 right now, and it does save a ton of time. This isn't the only sheet I've done, I also did my SP and PR pennies from 1960 - 2012. |
