I think I'm a little OCD too splatto, I staple each 2 X 2 four times, with the coin perfectly straight.
Since we're on the topic, I've never been a fan of big binders for 2 X 2's, so I ordered one of those 60 pocket coin albums. To me there's just something more enjoyable about flipping through an album than a binder. YMMV, but it could be a tidy way to make sets, and satisfies the completionist part of the OCD collector!

What size 2x2's are preferred for Canadian large pennies? I see they're a little bigger than a quarter but smaller than a loonie. Thanks

You can get exact match sizes for any coins. They make one for loonies/large cents, thats what I use for them and they fit nice.

The reason I only buy 3 different sizes is because I hate having to keep an inventory of 8 sizes of 2x2's for each circulation coin. It's much easier to be on top of

I find for some sizes of 2x2s I have to use a US based site to purchase. Coin supplies stores in Canada I find don't sock 10 cent and loonie sizes. They say use the 1 cent / 2 dollar sizes. I prefer exact sizes so I have 7 or 8 stacks of holders.

As I have put in previous posts. Amost all I collect is Victoria Large Cents and the only mylar holder that fits just right are US for the SBA & Sacagawea dollars. These have a 26 mm opening and the large cents are 25.4 MM, as are the US dollars. Order them from Brooklyn Gallery of Stamps & Coins(website). They also have the 1 1/2 X 1 1/2 mylar holders. |

For you who cjoose to use the pocket storafe method, I have a bit of info for you.
Unless you store the notebooks flat, (there are those designed for that use), you will find that the pages will buckle, whether standing up-right, or standing on the open side. the wieght is more than they can stand, and the buckle, will eventually lead to a torn sheet. Foe this reason , I had to remove all of then, and instead use a normal storage box, designed for flips. They hold two or three hundred flips, depending on denomination. I only use the PVC-free fluips. I also have used a home-made box that holds 150-200. So far, no ill effects, (after 5 years storage).

I also vote for the 2x2 method as it allows viewing and writing on both sides if you desire....also if using 2x2 and binders it is best to store laying down
