[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 2604503, member: 5233"]So here is a question...totally unrelated to anything else I have asked. I'm in the process of moving the coins in my collection that I like into higher quality holders. I'd like to put this coin into an airtite. But, based on Red Book (the only reference I have for this type of coin)...it says the diameter is approximately 29mm. I assume this is because they were stuck without a collar. Now, I prefer the airtites with the rings in them...which give me a little wiggle room for size. Do you think 29mm would be the best choice? Should I dig out some calipers and see if I can measure the coin (or is there really that much variability in these)? Also, I know this is a general preference...but with copper coins do the white or black rings tend to contrast better?[/QUOTE]
