I went ahead and put all my Britannias that didn't come in a capsule into a foam ring air-tite. I have a Kangaroo and a Britannia from the 90s in their capsules that both seem to have a goldish ring around the edge. Is this because of the quality of the mint capsules versus and air-tite or some other effect?

I have noticed that mint capsules usually allow the coin to move around slightly in them while direct fit and foam ring air-tites don't.

I have a Brit still in the flat plastic, so I'm averse to cutting it out. The rest are in ATs or Quadrums, and all lay in presentation trays.

WOW! I might have to do something like that with the random nice silver rounds that I've got hoarded up. Especially if it can be presented like that. Thought of paging them, but never really imagined it'd look that nice.
Do you know if you can fit capsules into cardboard flips, and then into the pages? I figured it would be too thick, so I never tried.

Eupion for dollars no. For smaller coins you probably could if you used a bigger flip like used the dollar 2x2s for quarters but it will still stick out some but should work

I'm thinking along the lines of 1 oz silver bullion rounds, from random countries, hopefully all of them, eventually. So instead of 2x2's, I'll be using 2.5x2.5's, but when I stick an ASE that's in an airtite into a 2.5x2.5 flip, it looks nice, but really thick and don't have test pages on hand to see if they do fit, since I don't want to waste money if they don't fit. Trout, since you got the pages in front of you, what do you think? Can a ASE in an airtite, that's in a 2.5x2.5, even fit into a page like yours? |

I would imagine that a dollar sized coin would fit in a 2.5x2.5 album. I have some piedfort coins in 2x2's and they fit ( Fat little buggers  ) |

Oh really? I thought they were in 2.5x2.5 flips. My bad. I don't think my ASE's in airtites would fit into a 2x2 thou, so I'm still sticking with 2.5x2.5's. Maybe I'll just bring a sample with me when the next convention hits Long Beach over here, since I've never felt comfortable buying from shops, since they always seem to just want me to hurry up and get the heck outta there. |
