I have gone through 500+ SAFLIPs ® and am about out of them, putting together my GB colonies, territories, and mandates set, and I have got more to go.

Hopefully my Brent Kruger order will be here early next week.....

Cool collections, Rockhound! Saflips are great, and the coins look cool in them too. How are you storing them, inside some kind of box? I use chocolate tins, and fit 3 rows of Saflips side by side, getting about 250-300 coins inside each square tin.

Zippered 3 ring binders with Cowens 2x2 pages, I also creat my own custiom flip labels with flag of country/territory etc.... Printed in color with Country, coin type KM number and grade.

I am at 354 coins and still going, actually some of the flips went to my country sets, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, France, Italy to name a few, those our housed in NUMIS 3000 albums....

edit: cause dang I can not type

If you were using slabs exclusively, you wouldn't need to do all this work. Seriously though, I too love raw coins in Saflips, and these custom labels are on my to do list.

Oh I have slabs as well but only for the United Kingdom GIII to EII type set, they are in seperate binders from the flipped ones, but they have
a place marker with a flip insert indicating TPG and Grade, yes I am annal about organization.....

That seems to be common among collectors!

I usually buy most of my supplies at the local coin shop or from Brent Kruger.

I'm always very happy with the cost & service from BK but thought I'd put a plug in for one of our own...Wayne Herndon recently added flips to his supplies inventory...he's one of the "best of the best" here on the forums.

Sounds like a fun weekend (or longer!!!) project
What kind of software do you use for the custom insert/labels???

I am using MS Excel, I set up bordering to the size of a flip, then I cut them out, I print them on heavy stock paper.

I can send you a template if you like?

Seemingly, you can't even get saflips in Canada. I'll probably put an order through Brent-Krueger also.
