<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 865003, member: 24633"]Tom, I raised this issue on the NGC forums in 2005. I had 30 Morgans in the AirTites with the black accent ring, and the edge of every one turned black. If you are going to use AirTites, I suggest that you use the "direct fit" type. </p><p> </p><p>You can get them at JP's Corner, and it is best to buy them in 250ct. as it will cut the price in half.</p><p> <a href="http://www.jpscorner.com/AirTite_Direct_Fit_AirTite_Coin_Holders.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.jpscorner.com/AirTite_Direct_Fit_AirTite_Coin_Holders.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.jpscorner.com/AirTite_Direct_Fit_AirTite_Coin_Holders.htm</a></p><p> </p><p>Someone mentioned about it being hard to separate the discs. It is best to keep the tops (smooth-edge) and bottoms (flanged) separated. I use large ziploc baggies.

Eagle Coin Holders has 20-slot pages for 3-ring binders that will hold discs up to 2" diameter, but they have a tendency to crack at the 3-ring holes and along the tabs that hold the discs in place. They are a little pricey, too! I used to keep my casino chips in them, but have since removed them and opted for the red 2x2 storage boxes. Each box will hold 37 discs, and are much, much cheaper.</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
