Are these coins made in such a way that the two sides are similar (both hard "wires)", or is one side hard and the other soft?

Don't quite understand the question. It's Typical Velcro so one soft fiber strands and the other is the hard side. Nothing unusual & works well.

Mine are very soft and pliable. After you use them multiple times, they do tend to harden, but they shouldn't be that way right out of the box.

I think they are hard plastic and then the prongs are metal... Hopefully that gives you the answer you are looking for.

One side has a nice covering and the other is black and hard. It's self explanatory once it comes out of the packaging.

Yes. Mine had cardboard packaging like you would have for hanging on a display. The two sides should have different feels; not aggressive but scrubby for sure.

It's just as thick as 2 stacked quarters, and I've had and used mine for a few years, even spilling water on it. The image hasn't noticeably faded, and the edges have hardly frayed. I bought 2 for friends years ago and theirs are practically still mint. These things are seriously tough.

Not from my experience the flip tends to hold the coin in place. The two sides kind of stick together and you have to pry it open to insert the coin in the first instance.

No, it's soft plastic and the battery is on the up side. I really like them.

I would say they are in between. They are not hard but they are not like silicone-easy to get off and on, but they do not stretch out of shape.

Yes it is soft. Heavy but soft enough fro valuables. It's made for protecting silver (a soft metal).

I bought this some time ago. I believe it was a softer wire, but I! not positive. I used it all tho.

Yes, both pieces are made of hard plastic. There are no soft, cushiony parts.

Yes they are metal. They aren't a thick coin or very heavy but they are metal.

I guess you'd call them a hard plastic, they are smooth and thin and not noticeable - I had to look for them to answer your question.

Yes they are only 3/8 and the metal is not as thick as either. Everyone is always trying to save a buck. Nothing is made like it use to be.

Yes, they will work, and these are good, or the coin flips that are clear plastic, and they hold other coins just as well, too. I prefer the flips for that reason, and stapling these types here is sometimes tricky in not damaging the coin...as no matter what anyone says...staples and rare pristine coins are not a good match...kind of like cats and dogs together...might work well, or might not...take care, from Randy~

I just checked about that from the person I gave it to. It is hard sided; not on the divider or the bottom. Those two points are fabric.
