Coin Storage

Those are pretty cool tbk. I wish they made some sort of box that just has vertical tube like holes that fit capsules. Maybe ill make one? I'm pretty crafty at times. Lol

there is pictures here of an empty Monster box http://www.ebay.com/itm/Green-Monst...em20cc3810df and here is pictures of box with empty tubes http://www.ebay.com/itm/GREEN-MONST...m4abd13bcdf. There are cheaper ones on ebay so I am not pasting these links suggesting you pay these prices I am just posting them to show what they look like as you asked

May have found my solution. Found some tubes for air tite capsules. And since the rest of my collection is already tubed, Ill be getting an empty monster box..... wish it was full though :)

I've been looking for a .50 caliber ammo box, with handles and with the gasketed rubber linings, but I can't seem to find any in all army surplus stores, which I assumed would carry them. I've found a lot without the rubber lining, so it isn't airtight/waterproof, and if they do come with it, no handles. I'm almost tempted to buy an ammo box with the ammo in it, just to get the box.

Btw, air-tite sells tubes that should hold your air-tite coin holders. There are different sizes so make sure you get the right kind. For example, the air-tites for the Maples are thicker and bigger then the air-tites for ASE's. It's kind of annoying since I'm working on my 1 oz. silver bullion collection, and having everything in different sized air-tites doesn't make stacking them any easier. Been tempted to get the tubes myself, but waiting till I have enough air-tites to justify the order.

I'm also waiting till the day someone released the perfect album/pages for air-tites.

And speaking of air-tites. I read on the sizing chart, that I would need the silver Maple sized air-tites to hold the Austalian Lunar Series coin(s). Speaking only about 1 ouncers. I have my lunars in air-tites that fit ASEs and they fit very snuggly around the black inner lining and the case closes completely. Should I move them to the proper sized air-tite, or just leave them and stop worrying nothing? I've been debating this with myself for a few weeks now.

I have a few .30 cal ammo boxes that I use for... oddly enough... ammo, but I bet that they would work well enough for coins too. In fact, my son has one of them in his safe with some of my 5-oz. bars and several tubes of ASEs and Maples. They seem fine for coins in tubes or bars in plastic but might not be for loose or slabbed items.

I found pelican case quite good

for storing coins

SBug - There's a certain poetic propriety (LOVE that alliteration!) in your storing Pandas in a Chinese-made hard plastic resin photo gear case while I store ASEs in an American military surplus ammo can. I'm also an AR-15 devotee & I hope you too maintain consistency by being an AK-47 type.
