BCW 2x2 Coin Snap Holders – 25-Count Crystal Clear Polystyrene Cases for Kennedy Half Dollars

BCW 2x2 coin snap holders are designed to securely store and display Kennedy half dollar coins. Each holder measures 2x2 inches and fits coins with a 30.6mm diameter, such as the US Kennedy half dollar. Made from archival-safe, crystal clear polystyrene, these 25 snap-tight cases let you view both sides of your coin without removing it. They include a reversible black and white background insert for personalized display and are compatible with standard coin storage boxes or stands.

How the Snap-Together Design Works

The holder consists of two clear polystyrene halves that snap together around the coin. This design provides a secure enclosure that prevents the coin from moving or falling out, while still allowing easy access when needed. Simply press the two halves together until they click, and the coin is safely encased. To remove the coin, gently separate the halves at the seam. The snap action eliminates the need for adhesive or tools, making it quick to organize your collection.

How to Use the Reversible Background Insert for Better Contrast

Each BCW coin snap comes with a reversible background insert: one side black, the other white. This allows you to choose the contrast that best highlights the details and luster of your coin. The background lies behind the coin within the holder, and you can flip it simply by opening the snap and turning the insert over. The holder itself is crystal clear, ensuring unobstructed visibility from all angles.

Precision Fit for Kennedy Half Dollars

These holders are specifically sized to accommodate coins with a diameter of 30.6mm, the exact specification of the US Kennedy half dollar. The snug fit ensures the coin does not rattle or shift inside the holder, protecting the edges and surfaces from wear. While primarily intended for Kennedy half dollars, they may also fit other coins of the same diameter. Always check your coin’s diameter for compatibility.

Archival-Quality Polystyrene Construction

The material used is inert polystyrene, which does not react with coin metals or emit harmful gases that could cause tarnishing. This archival-safe property means your coins remain in stable condition over long-term storage. The crystal clarity of the polystyrene allows for full visual inspection without handling the coin, reducing the risk of fingerprints or damage.
