I'm looking to start a collection of Canadian Nickels, and would like to store them in Lighthouse Encap capsules. I know the coins themselves fit in the 21.5mm interior diameter capsules, which are 27.5mm outer diameter. What Encap page size should these go into? The smallest I can find on the Lighthouse website is 22/23 ID 29mm OD. Do they not make pages for these smaller size coins?

I took a look at the Lighthouse web site, as well as those from a couple of resellers, the EnCap 22/23 page does appear to be the closest fit for the 21.5 capsules.

Another potential option is to purchase AirTite A21 holders for the coins and EnCap 24/25 pages to hold them. The combo appears to be a good fit.

Good luck!

Just to circle back on this, I bought the 21.5mm capsules and 22/23 Encap pages from Lighthouse. I'm terribly disappointed with this purchase. The capsules are slightly large for the nickels, which allows them to spin around on the inside, potentially damaging the coins surfaces. The capsules themselves are also too small for the pages, and they too rotate around when in the pages. The act of placing the coins in the capsules and then the capsules to the pages and into the bider causes the coins to be randomly rotated all over the place and it looks terrible. It was a complete waste of nearly $50, and of course non returnable.
