I know larger coins get bumped up to a 2.5x2.5 but I have an album, and I need 2x2s for larger coins.

I bought a few larger silver coins (Netherlands 2 1/2 gulden) which came in a 2x2, when I removed it, the ones I had were too small.

Wondering what the biggest coin diameter I can buy for 2x2s

I do not know where to get them, but have had a couple larger 2X2-like holder for ASEs. The store that was local to me at my last residence had them - that is only two years ago so they must be available somewhere.

Those would have some really tight edges!

I bought my first ASE at a coin shop in 1993 and it was in a 2.5 x 2.5, which is the first time I had ever seen those.

While it may not be the ideal storage solution, 2x2 clear flips may be your only other option. Silver eagles fit in them nicely and I found it necessary for a few other larger coins to store in 2x2 pages.

I've seen ASEs (40.6 mm or 1.6 inches) in 2x2s but I don't like them that way. There is virtually no cardboard to staple on with only 5 mm "white space" at the edges. Not sure if they are still made but I can't imagine any larger coin possibly fitting into a 2x2.

I agree. I would rather do this that try to stuff it into what must certainly be a very flimsy cardboard holder.
