yavaris Valued Member United States 169 Posts	Posted 02/20/2007 6:44 pm I have a number of world silver bullion pieces that I bought online. However, several didn't come with capsules or the capsules are badly scratched. Does anyone know the proper size of airtite holders for British 2 pound Britannias, Canadian 5$ maples, and Mexican 1 Onzas? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 02/20/2007 10:02 pm Brittanias fit into the same size as the ASE's-41MM and the Maple Leaf is a 38MM (I think)- I'd have to check my inventory. If the ML's don't fit the 38MM then it's the 41MM. Sorry I don't know about the Mexican Onza. You can always buy an air tite a little larger and use the black foam rings to size it down so they don't jiggle. Report this Post to the Staff
t360 Pillar of the Community United States 2703 Posts	Posted 04/15/2007 4:39 pm I really like air-tites and buy them from jp's corner. I also buy SAFE coin trays from collectors-gallery.co.uk and put my air-tited coins on the trays. The trays are not too expensive if you buy two at time and use surface mail (about $32 each including postage to the US). For example, I put my 40-42 mm French ecus on the #6463 tray, which has 15 spaces of 63mm. It makes for a nice display of 15 French crowns and protects the coins securely. You can take them out of the trays and pass them around without worrying about grubby fingers touching the coins. And you can still open up the air-tite without too much effort to get a closer look at the coin or to examine the edge inscriptions, unlike slabs. With ancients I don't put them in air-tites (many are too thick), but still use the stackable SAFE coin trays -- for example #6430, which has 50 spaces of 30mm for the roman imperial as and dupondius-sized coins. Everything is thus well protected, easy to see and stacks up nicely. Report this Post to the Staff
inacoffeebuzz Valued Member United States 204 Posts	Posted 04/16/2007 8:45 pm I use the H38 direct fit Airtite for the Mexican Onza (1 oz bullion coin) for the years 1982-1995. After that they became the Libertad which has the same dimensions as the American Silver Eagle which I also collect. The only problem with the direct fit for the earlier Onza is that there is a little gap on the sides, as the coin is only 36mm, and it presses onto the obverse and reverse a little (it's a thick coin). I like the DF Airtites in that you can see the edge well - the Onzas have lettering on the edge while the newer Libertad versions are reeded like the ASE's. Great choice of coins to collect - you will have a lot of fun with these. Report this Post to the Staff
