For the smaller coins like dimes there is still quite a bit of extra holder around the coin. Basically, it comes down to liking foam around your coin or clear plastic.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Coins can move around in airtites. It takes some energy, but it does happen. You should never subject your coins to that much shock, but if you do they will move. I shook a direct fit and you can feel the coin rattle. I shook an airtite with ring and the coin shifted a lot and compressed the foam leaving a huge gap between the coin and the opposite side of the foam. My point is, don&#039;t put a coin in an airtite and believe it&#039;s completely safe from harm.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Direct-fit airtites hold pennies, nickles, dimes, quarters, and sac/sba/pres dollars in A-size holders and silver dollars and ASEs in H-size. That means you only need two types of album pages, storage cards, etc for lots of different types of coins. The types with rings span four different outside diameters for the same coinage. This is a small issue, but one I took into account. </p><p><br /></p><p>4. I am a beginner at coin collecting so please take my opinion with a grain of salt. I can only offer the data that is easily measurable. The fine folks on this board know infinitely more than I do about how airtites work in the real-world over a long period of time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
