coin holder..

Which type coin holder does one recommend?

Looking at either the 2x2 cardboard staple or 2x2 SAFlip...

Nevermind...ordered the Coin Starter Kit from ThePurplePenny

I must say I prefer the staple type.

Me too.

It all depends on the coin for me.
If I am going to add it to one of my albums I put it in a self adhiesive  2x2 (I hate staples) because I like to  write the grade and date on the flip for further referance , Or if is an error coin I like to note the error.

If I am just simply storing the coin I put it in an saflip and heat seal it.

Do the adhesives emit vapours which in turn possibly affect the coin? Any good places to buy them? (adhesive/staple)

Sounds like a good idea..Use grease proof paper and iron seal?

I have never had a drama with the self adhesive 2x2s because i store my albums flat.
If you store the albums  on their edge there is a risk of the glue giving way and the coin dropping into the glued part of the flip.
I use a heat sealer on my saflips , these are as cheap as chips on eBay.

In my opinion self adhesive 2X2's are on the nose. Some years ago I was lucky enough to snag a 1955Y. Mule penny in full red CHU condition. After diligently placing it in the 2X2 for "SAFE" keeping, at a later date I found the holder had partly opened like a clam and a third of the coin had toned. Bugger.....that was the only self adhesive 2X2 I remember doing that, so why did it have to be that particular coin :dash1: Only use saflips these days Grrrrrrrrr

I bet you didn't store your albums flat, if you did then that shouldn't have happened :ok:

ditto autocoupler
I have many a silver coined ruined by those sticky coin holders
the coin slides down into the sticky section

[qman69]

So where are people sourcing these good 2x2 staple flips? I'm guessing they are mylar windowed?

A bit late getting back, my computer's been down and the one at work fell over as well.

The odd thing is that back in those days I always stored my albums flat. The coin didn't actually come in contact with the sticky stuff, so must have been the odour from the glue or maybe from the soft plastic pages being used at the time.

Bingo

I acquired mine from here http://www.thepurplepenny.com/coin-collecting-supplies,22.html, but most good coin shops can source them.
