Does anyone know where I can get capsules that will fit these coins? I tried the 38 mm standard capsule but is too narrow for the coins. Thanks.

Airtite.com X38 - almost perfect fit.

But....it has insert (black or white), and one of my 1.5oz Polar Bear, that one which stored in this capsule - got white areas on the edges.

And here:

Perfect fit.
Last time I ordered for both coins, and it fits great.
But...last time as I remember website was in Eglish and : out of 10 capsules, these guys sent me 7 as ordered and 3 regular H38 (sure I had no proof to tell them about this fact).

Sometimes...SOMETIMES....if you call the Mint they will give you the proper capsules.

The capsule is sold/shipped as two parts, top half and the bottom half. Each part has its on SKU number.

Top # 102774
Bottom # 380248

If you have a dedicated rep at the mint, they tend to be more willing to help you out. If you don't have a rep, well, the worst they will say is no.

I suggest that you call the mint and try to order the capsule via the SKU numbers I just gave you.

You can get them from a site in Germany as well , they are a lighthouse type capsule and are a direct fit, I ordered 10 from these guys last year , fit perfect.

You posted the page on English, and I only now found where to change the language, previously I posted the URL to German version.

This person on ebay seems to be selling direct fit capsules for the 1.5oz Canadian silver coins:

Not sure if it's a decent price since I don't buy capsules a lot but they look like they are what you're looking for.

Great, Opera12mi !

I actually tried not few capsules, prior ordering from the website.
(that time the Proof Polar Bear haven't been issued yet).

So these capsules look like air-tites, but perfectly fit the coin.
