self-adhesive coin holders

Loonie

Is there anyone using the self-adhesive cardboard coin holders? I saw that Lighthouse produce some of those self-adhesive coin holders.
Are they safe for long term storage? thank you

Loonie

is there any other company makes self-adhesive coin holders besides Lighthouse?

I have and still do use them. They work very well albeit a bit more expensive than the staple application ones. I just do not trust my unsure hands anymore with the stapler.

Someone used to make self adhesive 2 x 2's back in the late 60's and early 70's. I used a lot of them and looked at some recently. I saw no noticable discoloration or abnormal toning on any of the coins. I just remember they were a pain to use. The window plastic came separate and you had to place them over the hole in the 2 x 2's and then put the coin in and press them together. 40 years later they are still holding. I don't know who made them though.

Shown are a few that have been sealed since about 1970.

Nickel 3¢ pieces were my first love. When I basically got down to the proof onlys I quit trying to collect them.
I would love to find coins at the prices listed on these coins. Back then you could buy "Uncirculated" Saints for $75 each and probably get a little cut on that price, maybe buy them for $65 each. I wish I had bought an armload at that price.

If my memory serves me correctly I was making around $1.85 an hour back then.

In the late 1960s I bought 3 proof 3-cent nickels (1883,1884,1886) at $190 for the lot. Eventually sold them for a small profit, wish now that I had kept them!

I bought a few and they are quick and easy to use. The only thing I do not like about them is that the cardboard part is much thinner. The coin is more exposed to contact because of this.

The self adhesive type holders that I've used require a Sharpie to write on them. A regular pen won't work due to the glossy plastic cover on the holder.
