Would like to hear views on self adhesive 2x2 holders,are they safe?
I use them exclusively and haven't had any dramas but have only been collecting for 3 years
What do you use?

I also only use self adheisive 2x2's.
As long as your coin are stored flat I can't see any dramas with them.
I hate staple jobbies for 2 main reasons
1. there is always a chance the steel staples can damage ajoining coins.
2. they are just plain Butt Ugly
I can imagine Lizzie saying- Philip, does my butt look ugly in this.?
They have been around now for at least 30 years.
Safe?? Yes if housed in PVC free sheets.
Loose in box, No you will need to staple as well.
In a High Humidity area,say North of Brisbane, check them
at the 5 year point, the card absorbs moisture to the detriment
of the enclosed coin.
I am in Newcastle and change the holders at the 10 year point.
The card is stuffed at the 12 year point.
(I found this out the hard way)
My modus operandi.
Buy Coin.
Place in staple 2X2 or saflip
Photograph determine if it goes into collection.
Into Collection = Acrylic Capsule (Round or Square)
Otherwise into S/A 2x2 and into Mylar sheets.
Probably will be converting to Saflips this year,
for general storeage they are very convenient.
