I use CAPS pages for all of my collection

When I buy a slabbed coinm I jail break it, stick it in the appropriate Air-Tite capsule and then pop it into the appropriate page


I recently bought a 2022 Reverse Proof set of the Fiji Peace and Morgan dollars

I just removed one from the ANACS slab and tried to put it into an H-40 capsule but it is too thick

These weigh 1 ounce so they are thicker and I didn't know that

Does anyone make a deeper H-40 capsule for thicker coins?

I may have solved my own problem

They do not fit into the direct fit H-38s but they more or less fit into the normal H-40 for 1 ounce rounds

I would rather have an H-40 that would accept an 4mm coin but this seems like it is going to work

So, these Fiji coins are bigger than the US Mint dollars.

I am glad it worked out for you. That could have been a real bummer.

They are the same diameter but thicker, which explains how they weigh 1 ounce

If I had not found a way to make this work it would have been like wasting $90

I'm pretty sure that I'm in a small minority of collectors that don't consider re-sale value when buying something

I clean my old coins, I jail break MS-70 slabs, I sell part of a set I don't care to keep, etc

I can do this without regret because I'm not worried about selling them someday

I know these are basically bullion but the back story is neat and I didn'y pay to much considering the current options

I am most definitely in that club.

Preach! Future (dead) me does not care about resale.
