Capital Plastics Holders

The Lincoln Cent, Jefferson nickel, Roosevelt dime, Washington quarter, and Kennedy half dollar basic designs will probably not change any time soon and there really should be an end to them they have been in use more than long enough.

I just got three "new" obsolete holders today off of ebay, one for gold double eagles for the Liberty, St. Gaudens, and the AGE made for a couple of years in the late 1980's. This one is going to be expensive. One for proof Washington quarters 1936-64. They have not made this for some time. The current one like it is from 1950-64. Then a couple of Bicentennial coinage holders in their original boxes. Their Bicentennial coin holders did not sell well and I thought I would get this pair to go with the pictured above. These were probably out of production by 1980. One each for the proofs and uncirculated 3 piece sets just for the heck of it. I really like the holders which have a lot of text on them and they do very little of that now.

I've been using Capital holders since the 1960's. They use Plexiglas brand plastic and are archival quality. The biggest problem I have heard of is that people seem to think that the plastic screws need to be torqued down tight, which usually breaks the screws. All that is needed is a very light tension to hold the layers together.

At the recent MSNS Conference one dealer had at least 40 holders he was selling cheap, they sure went fast.

btw... Capital no longer provides a box to hold the holder, just a plastic bag, so if you find old boxes from Capital snap them up.

Very nice!

I am hoping a certain someone comes to share their holder as well.

At a coin show last Sunday one dealer had an entire table full of those with a large variety of types.

Earle42 Niice! Did you do any others?

I have a few different ones, I always keep an eye out for them at coin shows in the junk boxes. One I wish I could find cheap was the Morgan dollar CC black holder in the shape of the state of Nevada, that was always my favorite looking holder they made, though I would be expensive to fill it up today!
They are on ebay often, but quite expensive (they also come in white): http://www.ebay.com/itm/381242810169 No connection to the auction just posting to show the holder.

I do have quite a few 2¢ 2x2 capital plastics holders in various colors.

I wondered who made this style of holder. I had four of them for the wartime nickels. Filled one with circulated nickels and sold it cheap at a flea market. Sold two to a full time coin dealer and have one left with a crack on a corner of the back panel across the screw hole I need to super glue. They just do not have the quality look of the Capital Plastics holders, almost dingy looking.

Have you guys tried mounting these to the wall? I think that would be pretty cool for a WWII set of nickels and cents.
