I think it moves the metal at high temperature maybe the alloy used to make the number can be conformed at lower temperatures

First decided no the design and Info I wanted on the flip, Designed in Silhouette Studio 4.0 and cutted them with a Cameo 3 cutting plotter in plain Bond Paper, then placed them with 3M Repositionable Spray.

It hides great the Staples and gives the flip and the album a great look.

I made that normal design, and some different designs for Special Commemorative Coins. I Also Made the same design for larger coins in Transparent flips.

I Have No Idea, It was a gift to all the members of the University's Patrons, my Father had them in his desk and a couple of years ago he gave them to me because I am the only family member interested in coins, I don't actually collect medals but I have some, it comes with the hobby

I Have Been pretty busy during the quarantine, I organized all my coins, in flips (2900 aprox) and all Mexican coins (Primary Collection) I have printed and cutted information for the flips in my opinion they look great it was a slow process for the first ones but as you advance and with time it was a fast process, and the results are great

I started in an Excel, then I used Exact Change For a long Time, but now I decided to use a web based database, I am actually using UCoin.com, I have found that it is simple, fast and reliable, the developers, are very helpful in adding missing coins, it is missing some features but I hope they will add them at some time.

What I like most is that they have a very complete database of coins and it keeps growing day by day. also the versatility of having all your information anywhere you are its great.

I have found other options like this like numista but I selected Ucoin because I liked the way info is presented in a given period.

I also tried the the swap section, it is very good, a lot of people do swaps in there in a couple of days I got a lot of swap proposals.

the biggest flaw I found is they do not use the US Grading scale, but for me is not a problem most of my coins are not from the US.

And it exports all your database to a good old excel

Hello Everyone, I'm a coin colector since 1993, I Have had ups and downs in coin Collecting since then, I started my main collection with mexico 1905 to date, but collected any coin I can get in hand.

Now I have an almost 3000 coin collection mainly Mexico and US coins. This last months I got in love with proof coins, and I have been adding a lot of them to my collection.

Happy to help as much as I can in the forum.
