Reading: Coin flip – Printed labels – Numista
I started coin collecting a little over a year ago. And I only recently got myself some coin flips and started using them to store / pack certain coins. I then realized that I don’t really like simply writing on them and thought of printing out some labels for them. I couldn’t find any templates online so I made my own.
Here’s a couple of U.A.E. Commemorative Coins that I just put into coin flips and labeled:
I was just wondering, if people on here are interested, I could make an editable Photoshop template of these labels and put it up on here. Hey guys, I started coin collecting a short over a year ago.

I do this in another way by inserting a printed sheet between two plastic folders which store twenty 2″x2″ holders.
But I see two problems to your solution:
– Photoshop is used by very few collectors
– A basic printer is not suitable for 2×2 cardboard coin holders
And … for my lonesome Eisenhower dollar?

Hi Jawad170,
Very concern.
Correct me if it is not the way you do.
I understand you print on plain newspaper, cut and glue on one side of the coin flips ?

I’m not sure what you mean by not suitable exactly? It can’t print onto the holders, that’s for sure. Perhaps you mean it’s not suitable for printing 2×2 precisely? What I did for that though, is I created a A4 Sized image file with all the 2×2 printouts I need so that it prints perfectly onto a paper. The cutouts pretty much matched the coin flips I had.

That may be true, yes, but still, I’m sure some people may be interested?
I’m also a programmer, and was thinking that some day, if I get the time to do so, I could create a little simple program that will generate that A4 sheet I mentioned earlier based on user input, just to make things simpler and get rid of the need for Photoshop.

How do you make the central circular cutout ?
Are you using a punch, a tender ?

I just used scissors. A cutter would be too messy as it could snag and rip the paper, and as for a punch, I don’t know if they make them that big or if they do, don’t know where to get one.

How best to store and display your collection is one of those evergreen questions. The methods used by our grandfathers would be viewed with repugnance by most collectors nowadays.
2×2 flips are credibly the most widely used choice because they look good and cost relatively little. I ‘d love to have a long row of custom made cabinets, made from amply seasoned wood, with slide out trays with lined cutouts for each mint and bantam administration plates underneath each cut out. It ‘s not happening though sol I ‘m stick with albums and 2×2 ‘s like the rest of you.
The trouble with flips is there is n’t enough board to hold a set of information and unless you are blessed with beautiful copperplate handwrite they are going to look badly. I like to read how others are tackling the questions of storage and display, indeed thanks for sharing !
Non illegitimis carborundum eastern time. excellent advice for all coins.

Jawad170 looks identical nice, me iam excessively lazy. I write everything, Makes it more a part of me. But that is me. But the entirely thing is what type of glue is used. Some glues and coins do n’t mix well, over clock time.
Who knows. the way I do it now looks bad. I may astir grade to a means like yours .

personally I enjoy writing on mine, it makes it feel more personal, like it ‘s mine. It besides amuses me to see coins that I ‘ve sold in the past come up for sale by person else in the on-line auctions even in the flips with my distinctive handwriting on them .

Then I use my P-Touch 1000 label printer, similar to this one
This is what the end result looks like, most of my collection is stored this way.
When I beginning started collecting I used 2×2 card flips but quickly got put off by the politic look, I hardly use them now. I now use 50mm firm quadrum cases which I get from – here then I use my P-Touch 1000 pronounce printer, similar to this one hera This is what the end consequence looks like, most of my collection is stored this way.

I change what I like daily, re organising my collection in the best possible ways which also change daily as well as adding new coins. I could love 2×2 flips tomorrow, I just can’t help changing everything.
I do like how the flag is printed on the layover, that is a nice touch and it might indeed peak that interest to use them again, more than I do now. I still have a binder with 2×2 flips, But nowadays I tend to lean towards rarities that justify putting them in a quadrum, over one-half of my collection is Silver/Silver validation so it justifies it for me, It would n’t be coherent to put a coin in a case that price more than the mint itself.I change what I like day by day, rhenium organising my collection in the best possible ways which besides change casual arsenic good as adding new coins.

Frenchlover, love it! I would like to start collecting world coins with my 6yo daughter, mainly to developer her memory and get her to know the world history and geography in an interesting and exciting way. I was wondering if you could provide more information on how you do it (mainly interested in using plastic with paper)? I would also really appreciate if you could share your Photoshop templates.
Thanks,

I have Optima coin sheets and then I print information sheet. This solution really save space and money and it is also very flexible. It is very easy to make and edit these information pages. The only negative issue I have noticed is that some of my information pages grab to the coin sheets. I’m not sure if it is because my coin sheets has incorrect material or my printer has incorrect color. Frenchlover, you have nice pages, I like them. Jawad170, your mind is besides very interesting. Like Fluke, I besides use quadrum cases, but entirely for rare or more expensive coins. Because I have more than 20.000 different coins I needed to invent space-saving solution besides. here is my solution : I have Optima coin sheets and then I print information sheet.

I like some of these ideas. So far I have a bunch of 3 ring binders with sheets and 2X2s. I shift them around when I get new coins and a binder gets besides broad, so they go to the next binder, and so on. I think I will try the printouts with the cut-out holes. I would besides have some information on the back of the 2X2s, that direction all that information goes with it as I move them about in the albums.
Thanks everyone for sharing your ideas and practices, and Jawad170, yes I would be concern on a template. I think Microsoft product are widely used, like ability point, or word. I am going to see if I can make something myself and see how it works out.
Cheers

Hey guys, I made a template on Microsoft ppt similar to the one shown by Jawad170. It was relatively easy. For the flags you can import high resoluteness pictures that can easily be obtained from the internet. You can fit several of these in one page and print them all at once. It will take a set of exercise to do it for all my coins, but it looks very nice .

I like your labels. Besides barely collecting coins, I have constantly enjoyed outgo time reorganizing them and looking for the best way to display them. I had a small project where I tried to display my 2 Euro collection and I made my own labels for coin flips. I am identical pleased with the final resultant role.

if you are talking to me…
no, not really. I made my designs in “pages” and I am very familiar with that program. All I did is split the coat of arms of each county in halves and put flags in corners. I printed everything on label-paper and I cut with a paper cuter. After that I cut a circle in the middle with a circle cutter (I paid 12 US dollars for mine and it works miracles 
)and stick the label on the coin flip.
it took me maybe 5 hours to finish the entire collection of over 200 2 euro coins. I did not do it all at once, I did it in sections.
It it is not 100% done yet because I am too lazy to correct some small mistakes that I know I made, but I will do it when I get chance. Also there are more coins to add. if you are talking to me … no, not truly. I made my designs in “ pages ” and I am very familiar with that course of study.

It looks really great PajaSkot, thanks for sharing! I can’t see any staples on your 2x2s, I was wondering how you attached it? Sorry for the silly question, but I would like to start collecting coins with my daughter and being able to make nice print outs at the same time protecting coins would be really good.
Thanks,

Staples are under the label so you can’t see them. Take a look at the German coin at the bottom. I am yet to make the label for that one.
Another thing I like about this project is that I placed all coins in the order that I like. There are blanks that need to be filled. Please look at the 4th row and you will see that Belgium and Cyprus are actually not real coins, those are just pictures which I will replace with real coins one day. “Feeling of filling the blanks” is too good and I know many collectors will agree with me.

What can you edit on your template apart from actual text?

Now I’m thinking about alphabet letter/number rolling rubber stamp 
to avoid using PC, printer and save some trees. But I’m not a fan of a text made from capital letters. in truth like your theme, Jawad170.
