2x2's quick question - CRH finds

I have a stack of CRH finds I would like to put in cardboard 2x2's so I can view both sides of the coins and enjoy lookin at them while keeping them safe and protected...my question...shoul I buy the "special" stapler I see online to staple them together? Does it really make the staple close flatter than a normal stapler!?

I just use normal staples. Works great for me. I wouldn't buy any "special" stapler.

Do you find that they ever get snagged on things? From what I have gathered the "special" stapler would prevent that.

When a staple doesn't close all the way, just bend it down the rest of the way with your thumb - that's what I do. Cheaper than buying a new stapler, for not a lot of extra effort, in my opinion If you're stapling 2x2s all day long, I could maybe see buying one of those special staplers, but otherwise I just don't see the point of spending the money. That's my 2 cents, anyways...

That's what I was thinking, thanks Virgil! I Appreciate all the help

A normal stapler and a pair of pliers does the trick.

I got a $1 Dollar Store stapler and it works wonders! Every once in a while it snags but it's definitely great!
only get a 'special' stapler if you're into wasting money

Just staple and squeeze...sounds easy enough!

Very rarely

Occassionally when my stapler runs low on staples it wont stamp them all the way through, then I use the end of it to push the staple through then bend it. Works great. I do it in a square pattern around the edges of the cardboard by the coin so it dosen't move around much.
