I keep seeing coins in red or yellow flips at coin shows. When I ask about it, the dealers inevitably either don't remember where they found them, or they acquired the coin in the flip.
Does anyone here know where I can buy coin flips that come in different colors? I think it would be useful for organization, depending on the number of colors available.
Are they plastic or paper?
There are these paper envelopes - is that a flip?
EDIT: I think those are just called envelopes; this page has coloured flips ... https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/frame-a-coin-color-coded-vinyl-2x2-flips.html
in blue or green or yellow or red. Here is the blue version ...

Those are pretty cool. I might order some of those. 4 colors would allow me to identify a few categories / types quickly by site.
I was looking for the paper kind with the mylar window. I have it in my head, right or wrong, that the paper ones are more air tight once stapled. I am not sure if it is true, but it's in my head. I was looking for something like these, but in different colors:
Ah yes, that is what I was looking for. I looked at that seller's other items and that is the only one like it - otherwise would have written to him to ask where they were from. Like you said earlier most times the coin already comes in a coloured holder. Thanks. Will keep looking ...
