<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ewomack, post: 2259642, member: 15588&quot;]I searched this forum for &quot;air-tite&quot; and found numerous references to the famous holders that I use almost exclusively. I&#039;ve bought them for a few decades now and never worried about them because absolutely no one seems worried about them. I keep the roundest moderns, the most exemplary demonstrations of the concept of pi, in them, whether they have value or not, and the most ragged of medievals and ancients in them. I probably have coins in air-tites that are worth less than the air-tites themselves. I have never had a problem with them, I realize that they are not actually air tight, or at least not hermetically sealed, and enjoy the protection these hard plastic holders seem to offer. Holding a coin encased in an air-tite also feels a little like the sensation of holding an actual coin, apart from the texture, of course. I even like the mild sound of flatulence that they make when the two halves get squashed together. I&#039;m working on some of my personal problems. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So why am I bothering typing this out? Is this a paean to air-tites? Well, sort of, but I really want to ask if anyone here has ever had a problem with these holders or found circumstances in which they are not ideal? I have heard that years ago, possibly decades ago, the foam inside was not necessarily inert, but that was apparently solved a long time ago. One dealer told me that he didn&#039;t like how some coins &quot;flop and shake&quot; around in them, which I have also experienced. But, apart from that, I haven&#039;t heard anything to make me deviate from my air-tite commitment. </p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone have any other opinions? </p><p><br /></p><p>Just a curious coin encaser...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
