Do you have any coins that are worth less than what you store them in?

The flips I buy are the self-adhesive cardboard flips with the mylar interior.  These ones:

at $9 for 50 flips it works out at 18c per flip.  A couple of my Fiji threepence coins have a catalogue value of only 15c in VF condition, making the flip that I've stored it in worth 3c more than the actual coin.

I will have to look tomorrow but I only pay £8 for 100 flips the same I'll buy a Fiji 15c off ya

Wow - you guys are getting ripped off: I pay $2 for 100... except mine don't have the little bump on the top like yours neilithic. They're just normal, square flips. I still don't think it justifies the price difference though  

So to answer the question, no I do not have anything worth less than 2 cents in my flips

Where do you buy yours from? and do they ship to New Zealand?

P.S. It's 'lose yourself' from your namesake. Not my favourite of his work.

Self adhesive ones ?

America and Canada are cheaper for everything though we get bent over a barrel every time !  Unleaded Petrol (gas) is £1.37 a litre here !

I think its ok to spend on good quality storage, if you take good care of your collection it wont deteriorate in condition or at least not as much as a persons coins who does not fork out. Having said I have always been a bit suspicious of keeping things in airtight capsules and such. I like the idea of air tight vacuums but if their is air trapped with the coin then any moisture in the air will still react with the coin. I keep my coins in paper coin envelopes and they in turn go in steel trays with silica pouches to absorb the moisture.

Hello,

They are not adhesive ones these are ones you have to staple.

 what's your favourite?

and the flips I buy are the ones you have to staple and I get them at coin shows- from a guy who has a table stacked full of the things

I can get 100 staple type for £5 but I don't like them as much !

I like some of his stuff with the D12.  Purple pills and drips are pretty decent.  I also liked "the real slim shady"

Oh that's why they're so cheap.  the staple ones aren't as good because they don't have an airtight seal like the self adhesive ones.

yeah I didn't even know about the self adhesive ones: and then just now i looked and i do have one coin in a flip with no staples (bought it in europe so that's why i guess). I would like the adhesive ones better i guess-- I'll look out for them from now on.

And back to eminem,    I personally like almost everything of his, but I do agree there is something about his older stuff (when he was less serious and more Slim Shady) that is appealing. I'm not even sure "lose  yourself' is my favourite song of his

1 gallon (British 160 ounces) = 4.732 litres
1 gallon (U.S. 128 ounces) = 3.785 litres
@ 1.37 GBP per litre = $10.50 USD per British gallon (160 fluid ounces)

In Canada, gas varies by region of country but where I live it is $1.45 per litre.

We pay about NZ$2.00 per litre, that equates to about 1 british pound per litre.  But then again I walk pretty much everywhere if I can get away with it anyway.

As fascinating as fuel prices are shall we stay on topic?

Sure. I like the self-adhesive flips but the price is rather prohibitive, I also make sure I buy plenty at a time because the postage charge is about 4 times the price of one packet of flips. It annoys me when places will only send stuff first class priority post.
