fake ase, or diff size coins?

up until today i only owned canadian bullion coins that fit into a 38mm airtight. today my ase showed up and weighed in right, but is too large for airtight. is this right? and why are they bigger...are they thinner?

thanks

ASE's are about 40.5mm diameter, the maple leaves are 38mm

 

I think I remember reading that yes the ASE is slightly larger but thinner than the Maple, but I'm not sure so I too shall wait for a definitive answer.

 

True

 

so it takes a 40.5 airtight? ill have to buy em once thats confirmed. thanks.

 

according to wikipedia, an ase is 40.6 mm so it shouldnt fit into the airtite

 

Send it to me. If it's genuine, I'll send it back. If it's fake, I'll destroy it.

 

This is why they make airtights in different sizes.

Not all 1oz bullion coins and rounds are the same size.

 

so what size airtight do i need for the ase? i want the ones with the black cushin.

 

Just going by what I found online...

I remove my ASE and ML bullion from the airtite's and stack them in tubes.

 

Britannias and ASEs fit into the same size airtites. I know nobody asked, but I thought it was somewhat relevant to the conversation.

 

dosnt it svratch the coins when they are in a tube?
thanks for the info on the 40mm for the ase.

 

why cant i trim down the foam ring with a razer to fit the coin in the 38mm airtight?


i cant see buying 10 airtights for 8 bucks when i have only 1 ase.

 

you could do that but it may not fit right. you can only buy them in a 10 pack?
its only 8.00 for the 10 pack even if you only use one you may need more eventually

 

i feel you, and that makes sense. the ase fits in the 38mm a/t, but the ring is in my way. wheres the best deal online for a 40mm black foam ring a/t?

 

They probably do get marked up dropping them in the tubes, but I don't care.
Don't be me wrong, these are not proofs that I'm removing from airtites, they are just plain old ASE and ML bullion.

In my eyes there is nothing special about them expect the one ounce of silver.
I just choose to purchase my one ounce silver bullion in ASE and ML instead of some random silver rounds.

I'm going for quantity, not quality, lol...

To each their own. It's just what works for me.
If you want to keep them nice I don't see anything wrong with putting them in a airtites.

 

yeah as a beginner i feel the need to spend my $ on bu bullion. like you said its a preference.

you would have to order a few more things to make shipping worthwhile though..

 

Beginner or not there is nothing wrong with that.
It's what ever you enjoy.

I also like the sound a stack of ASE makes when playing around with them on the table and in my hands. I can't do that when they are in airtites, lol...

Have fun and enjoy, that's really what it's all about.
