Help with 2 x 2 & 1½ x 1½ Staple type

[Nevol]

The US prices are way lower than anything available here in Oz, but shipping is a killer! I've had a look at all the sites reccommended & have tagged a few for further investigation.

I might decide to get some US ones minus the TAB, I'll just have to get used to them I guess. 

Will post research results when all costs have been determined.

*grins*  Nevol, the first time one of our Aussie members sent me a coin in one of those flips with the tab on it, I was astounded. I'd never seen one like that before in all my years (twentish of them) of collecting.  I still find them odd. 

It's just a case of what you're used to, I think.  

Anyway. I buy lots of 100 flips in a red cardboard box for around $5 at my local store.

Kitty, the ones with the tabs are soooooo much easier to remove from the folder pockets!

[Nevol]

Some of my old 2x2 storage pages have a half moon cutout at the bottom of each pocket, allowing the 2x2 to be eased out, but since the introduction of the Tab top, the pages no longer have this feature.

As Tobyle pointed out, the tab makes it way easier to get the 2x2 out of the pocket.  I sometimes also colour the Tab with a hiliter & this tells me which denomination coin is in it without taking it out of the sorting tray I use.

I like that idea, Nancy!

Nancy, I get the stappled types, non self adhesive, with or without tabs @ $10 a hundred

Hi Greg,
Please advise from which dealer do you obtain them.
That seems to be the best deal i have heard of yet.

Yes, Greg
I too prefer the staple type-with tabs. Do share where you get these. 

Thanks,
mila

Greg, We are all anxiously awaiting you reply.    Please do tell if you source your holders in Oz or US. Do you get them directly from a Coin shop, or are they mailed, if yes, how much does postage add to the cost?   

If $10 per 100 is the all up cost, we would appreciate the contact details of your supplier.

I also use the staple type with a tab.


I use the tab to write the year of the coin, they then go into an album in country/year order.

Great price, I think we would all be interested in the supplier, c'mon spill the beans Greg.

Folks you have mail.  I'll recheck in the AM.  The last I brought (4 weeks ago)were that price.  I don't know what the postage would be, but I can ask.

I bought 1400 from Air-tite and they came in at 6c each landed here in Perth.
He may have stuffed up the postage though. 

[gregk]

Folks, They are $9 per hundred, with $6.50 flat postage.  According to staff, this postage cost is the same for 100 or 1000.  Better check with them but. The sizes are in mm: 17.5, 20, 22.5, 25, 27, 27.5, 30, 32.5, 35, 37. 5, 39.5.  There are other sizes 40mm to 53mm.  These are 2.5x 2.5 and cost 25 cents each or 22 cents each per 100.

Hope this helps

Thanks Greg......still a good base price

[Nevol]

Thanks Greg. Probably the best prices in Oz that I've seen so far.
