jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 07/15/2009 6:01 pm I only have a few coins Air-Tites and they are all direct fit. For some reason, I am skeptical about the foam's safety.

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 07/16/2009 12:15 pm If you collect Classic US and/or foreign coins, the direct fit come in much more limited sizes. You may be forced to use a ring type holder, for, as an example, a US Half Dime. This goes in a 15mm holder which is not available in direct fit.

timer Valued Member United States 129 Posts	Posted 07/23/2009 10:13 am I use direst fit whenever I can. I'm concerned about the long term effects of foam in contact with the coin. May not be an issue but why take the chance. The new SAC proof doesn't fit in the small dollar holders because of those little bumps ont he side. I use ring type for those or carboard flips.
