<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 5403610, member: 105098&quot;]t&#039;s a direct fit capsule for 27 millimeter diameter coins, and a direct fit for 28mm. I&#039;ve never seen a 27.5mm direct fit capsule.</p><p><br /></p><p>if you are looking for 27.5 it would be the one for Coronet Large Cents (1837-1857) which is going to be 28mm in direct fit and may or may not fight exactly right. it can be a little loose, or too tight in a 27mm.</p><p><br /></p><p>The “Capped Bust” was&nbsp; produced from 1815 – 1838 and 27 mm and the standards were pretty solid for the diameter. but the earlier stuff like the draped bust and coronet large cent from 1800-1900 the diameter was inconsistent.</p><p><br /></p><p>here&#039;s the issue I think though nobody makes a 27.5.</p><p>&nbsp;it&#039;s for the same reason nobody makes a large cent 27.5mm either. the diameter isn&#039;t consistent, sometimes it was 27, or 27.5, or 28mm, and wear is also a factor so they don&#039;t bother with them and you measure you coins diameter to the millimeter and buy a 27 or a 28 or a ring capsule instead....</p><p><br /></p><p>the other option would be to use the one with the ring gaskets instead of direct fit capsules and get 27mm and 28mm ring gaskets. one or the other will work and this might save you a little of having to buy both capsules, and just buy the ring gaskets and the capsules that fit both of the ring gaskets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
