I am not a coin collector, so this is all new to me. I'm looking to purchase some coin holders similar to one I already have, but I've been unable to locate this particular item. I have a collectible coin (not legal tender, a 1990 Sturgis commemorative coin) that came in a 2-piece, clear, round, rigid coin holder that has a seam going all the way around the edge (in the center of the edge) of the holder. This was then placed in a velvet lined box. I recently purchased off of eBay some holders made by Kointainer (or at least that's what the seller said). They were separated into zip-loc sandwich bags of bottoms and tops, were very flexible, not particularly round, and could be squeezed by hand to easily make them crush. Some had a blueish tint to them and others were clear. Again, maybe they were counterfeit containers but I don't really know. Does anyone know of the rigid containers of which I speak? Also, does the product that I purchased sound like the ones made by Kointainer. The reason I'm looking for this item is that I manufacture keychains and the rigid containers would be perfect for my business after filling with various thin items.
Check out www.jpscorner.com for what you are looking for. There are several brands of clear plastic holders in a variety of sizes.
Thank you both!!!! The Air-Tites in the velvet lined box look to be exactly like what I have for my coin. A few more questions if you don't mind.... Are they convex on both top and bottom? (mine is) I see there is an "Ornament Capsule". That would be perfect if the ring is strong enough for key chain use. Does anyone know if the ring is heavy duty, or is it just enough for "Christmas Tree" hanging?
