Thread: Question About Silver Eagle Airtites...

Really quick question as I want to order some silver eagles to add to my collection. I want to get airtites but when I search on ebay I obviously get tons of different sellers selling at different quantities/prices. Just wanted to know is there any major differences in them? Are some of them more cheaply made than others? Do the ones with the ring inserts provide better protection?


There's just a huge range and I see people selling 5 for $8 and then others selling 25 for $15, so it got me wondering. So is there any difference or am I just overly complicating this?

Thanks!

There are imitations out there so be sure to buy genuine airtites (red packaging with the rings; orange packaging for direct fit). For my raw ASEs, I now use Intercept Shield holders to delay toning. So far, so good and there is no mistaking them from other holders. TC

Yes, and if you can find someone to share them with, it's best to buy them in 50-count for the best price.

I was told the ones with inner rings don't allow as much rattle of the coin when it is inserted.

@ FOCUSalmon

The Air-Tite Holders manufacturers web site has a 30th Anniversary discount offer currently running if you order through them, 30% off $30 or more. Buying in bulk is the best way to buy AIr-Tite Holders with any semblance of a discount.

I personally think ASEs look great with black ring-type Air-Tite Holders:

the inner ring might affect the silver coin. i like fit size capsule only and sealed with cellophane.

I always use jpscorner.com and have always been satisfied. They are very fast in processing orders. I also prefer the black ring holders and never had a problem. I just don't like the way the direct fit holders put pressure on the coins where it touches around the rim.

one of my airtite inner ring melted and stick to the rim and some area of the coin surface. and the silver coin toned into blue and black. i don't know what causes that to happen.

no. i don't have and don't know how to take and scan coin. but i might let someone to help me take that picture and scan it.

I use the mylar flips for bullion ASEs.

Thanks everyone for all the info/sites!
