<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 6610882, member: 15588&quot;]I have also used Air-Tites for years. The &quot;inbetweener&quot; sizes (i.e, anything with a &quot;.5&quot; or some other decimal unit after it) always came with a degree of unpredictability and the version with the slightly flexible inner ring usually worked best - it sometimes seemed that one 23.5 mm would rattle in a 24 mm holder, but a different 23.5 mm coin would not. Likewise, some 23.5 mm coins fit nicely into 23 mm holders, but others would go in only with considerable force and leave the coin looking swallowed and overwhelmed by the inner ring. A select and frustrating few fit nicely into neither and some rattling remained the only option.</p><p><br /></p><p>One technique that often worked for me for those tighter fits was to take the inner ring out of the holder, wrap it around the coin first, and then fit the coin with the ring around it into the holder all at once - sometimes I had to use a small toothpick to push the outer edges of the ring into the holder and this often kept the ring from obscuring portions of the coin while still allowing a decent fit. It worked enough times for me to continue trying this technique.</p><p><br /></p><p>More than once I ordered <i>both</i> larger and smaller sized holders for a &quot;tweener&quot; coin (e.g., for a 23.5 mm coin I would order <i>both </i>a 23 mm and a 24 mm holder and just see which one worked better, which, given the holders&#039; lower prices, saved another potential order and additional shipping costs). I never did establish a pattern, so I inevitably kept some element of trial and error in the process of choosing the right sized holder.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
