First off I wasn't sure where to post this, I'm trying to find air tites for older American 5$ gold coins. They will fit in a nickel holder but it's a tight fit and wasn't sure if it would damage the coin. Does anyone know a website that sells ones made just for the 5$ gold indian head coins. Your replies are appreciated.

They have a chart on the site. Recommend using the foam disk ones vs. the direct fit.

Agree. Justin, tell us why you prefer air-tites to easier-to-store (and probably safer) slabs?

I just like air tights that's what most of my coins are in, coin shops around my area doesn't have the slabs so I've just always used air tites. But the slabs work too I just need something besides 2×2 to store my gold coins.

They are the same size as modern gold $5 commemoratives issued from the mint. They should be available somewhere.
