Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 03/04/2019 11:17 pm That's the brand I use. Every once in a while I get a bad batch where some of them snap when I try to fold them over, but otherwise no complaints. IMO, they give better visibility in binder pages than saflips. They're a little bit more clear. Report this Post to the Staff

Also use PVC free album pages, Most coin dealers are able to steer you in the right direction. However, I use Mylar cardboard flips, because it is possible to write the identification description of ancient coins on the cardboard. I some cases, with large ancient coins such as sestertii, or more valuable coins, I like to cut two squares of acetate* sheet to put either side of the coin before stapling the flip. That prevents the high points of the coin from rubbing through the very thin Mylar. Simple, but effective. * Clear 2x2 acetate sheets can be readily cut from plastic food containers or toy packaging.
