How big are they? I have a gazillion airtite holders and I saw this on Brent Kreuger's website: We have a recommendation for you wish to use Airtite holders, but don't want to store your holdered coins in a box, or mount them on a display card. Eagle makes 2x2" album pages that are made of semi-rigid and archivally-safe clear plastic. The page consists of 20 vacuum-formed pockets that sit below the surface of the page. Each pocket has a clear strap going across the bottom to keep the holders from moving. These pages are designed to be placed into a 3-ring binder.
While the Airtite holders are round, they fit nicely into the 2x2 pockets of a Eagle page. The plastic strap at the bottom of each 2x2 pocket keeps the Airtite holder in place within the pocket.
By using this alternative, you can custom-assemble a collection holdered in Airtite holders in a ring binder. We have included a link below to the Eagle section of our website that offers the 2x2 20-pocket pages. http://brent-krueger.com/airtite.htmlI'm going to order a couple of the pages this weekend and can let you know how they work out. |

 This is what I was talking about quote:

They can come in all sizes but every single one of the coins I have for my WWII collection are all a bit bigger then a half dollar since they are all commemoratives. Thanks for the link! |

I'm kinda stuck with em since most come in the form of UNC commemoratives. I can't think of a better way to store em then the way they came. The problem is they are separated into little cases with a latch. Here's a sample  |

I'm still stumped on how these work. I guess I have to see these things in person.

I think they are just like air tites except for the 'coin cap' lettering. Do you know what the air tites look like? GO, are they just like air tites? |

Very similar. Only difference that I have found is that they are all the same size except the innards that are sized without the use of foam like most.
