I got this 2oz silver round last month, already in this capsule. A few days ago, I got another very similar round in a vinyl flip, but I can't find any other capsules like this one. This is a direct-fit, i.e. there's no foam ring -- I don't want a ring because I don't like how they look and I don't trust that they won't damage or tone the metal. The round is 50mm in diameter; the capsule is 66mm.

It's not an air-tite, at least it doesn't match any of the sizes I can find online. The closest air-tite looks like Y50 but that has a foam ring. I see a few capsules that might work but they don't have the added diameter that this one has. If I can duplicate this capsule, I'd have a matched pair. If I can't, I might consider changing this one out so I'd still have a matched pair.

Any leads for how to find a match for this one, or another ring-less capsule that would direct-fit these rounds?

There is no risk of an Air-Tite insert harming (or toning) a coin. They are completely inert and archival quality.

50mm is an odd size. I'd try contacting Air-Tite directly: https://air-tites.com/#!

You could also try Kointains through this webpage: https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pr...dJsqGb28YWZf

Good luck. That is a really nice looking 2 ounce silver round!

Thanks for the link to Wizard. 50mm is just a hair under 2 inches, so that's another option.

This (CoinSafe) is 2" and an outer diameter of ~2.25": https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/co...ch-size.html

This (Lighthouse) is 50mm and outer diameter 56mm: https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/li...es-50mm.html

Neither is an exact match but they seem pretty close. Even better, the Lighthouse link is for a pack of 10 so I would have some spares in case I get more 2oz things (and with capsules like these, I'm more inclined to do that).
