Hi @Harmonium yes it is a mouthful for the magnifier. I forgot to tell you, it also allows you to take photos and videos of the coins. It is awesome for finding errors.

 

I currently use the Lighthouse 2x2 Self Adhesive Matrix cardboard holders. But I have read that after a couple of years the glue doesn't stick any longer and if you go to take one out of an album, your coin could fall out and be damaged.

 

The only thing to be aware of in the staple version, is that if you store these with one behind the other, the staple from the card in front, can damage the coin behind it.

 

A place called The Purple Penny recommend these SAFLIP ® double pocket flips

So you can put the coin in one side and insert cardboard in the other side once you have put the information regarding the coin on it. This is what I am looking at doing once I sort my collection out. 

 

I love your explanation of when you try to take coin photos, that would be funny to watch. I have trouble taking them on my phone, as my hands and body tends to shake at times. So I end up holding my breath and taking it as quick as possible. 🤣😂📷

 

I will be trying to get the Count Down coin and he normal $2 purple poppy coin in the ballot. How about you?
