2x2 Flips and storage boxes?

[CoinCurious]

I am in need of some 2x2 Flips and storage boxes. I was thinking of purchasing them from ebay. Is that the best place to purchase the flips and boxes?

Thanks

I got a pretty good variety last year and fairly cheap off ebay myself.

Are there any coin shops in your area? I buy mine locally - they may be slightly more expensive than the ones online, but you don't have to wait for them to be mailed, and you don't have to pay for shipping.

Go to JP's Corner. You can buy the flips in the storage box. Jerry is a good person.

Yeah, get them from a reilable source. I got some cheap ones one year from the bay and they were really a shoddy construction. Turned out the cello on most of them was wrinkled and on a bunch of them, the cello windows were not completly glued. I ended up tossing most of them and buying some from my local B&M, they were excellent.

 

You get what you pay for...an old addage, but in a lot of cases so true.

I guess I got lucky with the one's I bought off ebay. I bought 3 boxes with 100ea in the box and also got to pick what coin sizes I got. All were wrapped nicely and was in great condition. Forgot who I bought them from tho'.

Not only do I concur with this recommendation, I also recommend buying the SafeFlip flips. They are great quality and they are very, very safe!

Yeah, I agree also...the 2X2 safe flips are needed for submissions also.

 

One question though, are they good enough for long term coin storage?

[MikeInFL]

Not to speak for Scott, but yes they are safe for long term-storage -- mylar (what the SaFlip is made of) is very stable and won't damage your coins in virtually all circumstances:

Mike... in this case you can speak for me. I use SafeFlip for long term storage. I have other flips for sending coins out I sell on eBay, but I would rather use a known brand that has a quality reputation for long term storage.

I purchased 450 assorted flips and 2 boxes for storage for a total of $21 including shipping. Which was actually cheaper than anything I found on ebay.
