<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 1674050, member: 11854"]I suggested the 2x2 because Kointain and Airtite capsules can be commonly found for nickels, which are 21.2mm in diameter, but not always for half eagles, which are 21.6mm in diameter. Therefore, if you had to choose a larger size Kointain or Airtite you may be stuck with the quarter size, which is 24.3 mm in diameter and the coin would bang around pretty darn well inside the holder. However, using a 2x2 the coin should fit fairly snugly between the mylar windows. If possible, I would suggest you bring it to a local dealer first to see if anything screams non-genuine or altered in their eyes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
