I use Saflips from JP's Corner Link Others recommend Brent-Krueger Link or Wizard Coins Link

I always wanted to know, if a cbhd slips around in a flip won't that scratch or rub the surfaces and thus screwing up the coin. I notice when people are looking at coins in flips they tap the flip to get the coin to move down in order to see it better.

I don't like flips and don't ever use them. If I want easy portability, convenient viewing, etc, I use a 2x2.

I don't care for flips either. I use Eagle holders for my raw coins, tokens and medals when they are small enough to fit in them.

if i keep the coin raw for my collection i like capital holders for looks and safety. but i am sending coins and selling raw coins so i need a small cost way to hold while in shipping

 

i ordered 2.5x2.5 flips thanks for links.

This is also my preferred choice. They are more expensive but worth the investment.

Airtites for me,with or without foam inserts. A little bulkier,but you can't beat the protection and the transparency.

The PVC flips normally won't damage the coin because they are soft, but they have the problem that they will deposit an oil on the coins that will eventually absorb HCl from the plastic and moisture from the air to create Hydrochloric acid which will damage your coin.

 

The Saflips don't have the acid problem but there is a slight chance of scratching if the coin moves around a lot. They also have a tendency to become brittle and split at the seams allowing coins to fall out. Especially larger heavier coins.

 

As for why people shift the coin in the holder to see it better, over time the flip can conform to the shape of the coin. By shifting the coin in the holder you can be sure scratches or anything else you see is on the holder and not the coin. You see a scratch, shift the coin and the scratch is in a different place you know it isn't on the coin. The plastic also just adds some distortion so by moving it you can tell if what you are seeing is the coin or just a distortion.

If it's in a flip, wouldn't it be easier to just take the coin out of the flip for examination purposes?

if you want the customer fingering the coin up sure its easier.
