    Nice find!

    Can't go wrong with a Swingline. When I first started putting all my coins into cardboard/mylar "flips" I bought a cheap Chinese made stapler from Mao-Mart (oops! I meant WALMART). The thing was the biggest piece of garbage ever. About one out of every three staples would bend, not go through the cardboard, or jam up. I found an old metal Swingline at a thrift store for two bucks and that thing has yet to mess up a staple. It tears through the cardboard like a hot knife through butter. I threw the Chinese piece of crap into the trash where it belongs - but not before I removed the staples from it.

    Yup. I use an old grey Swingline desktop that dates to 1949, works like a charm. I have that same staplegun too, without the box. Nice find Mojjax.

    Make sure that you use a small pair of pliers and press the back of the staples down on the reverse of the flips. Makes them easier to get out of box, won't damage another coin and you can store more in a 2X2 box.

    And I agree, Swingline.....
