<p>[QUOTE="luttrell, post: 1220809, member: 31765"]I am trying to find some of the original Alfred S. Colella coin tubes to store some of my Engelhard and Johnson Matthey coins. I received some tubes of Engelhard coins that came in these types of coin tubes and can't seem to find any empty tubes online anywhere. One of the Alfred S. Colella tubes I have actually has the Engelhard logo stamped in the lid (which I thought was really nice). The others are just plain on the top of the lids. These tubes have the Alfred S. Colella name stamped on the bottom of the tubes and I'm assuming that they made these specifically for different companies at one time. </p><p>These tubes are very similar to the Numis tubes except that the lids are a little taller and do not twist all the way around like a Numis. They have locking nubs on the bottom to secure the lid. The extra height on the lid will store either 20 or 25 coins in the tube. The tubes measure about 3 1/4 inches in height (with the taller lid), where the Numis tube is only around 3 inches tall.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone knows anything or has any information on these tubes, I would appreciate your input. I know that Alfred S. Colella was the original inventor of the square coins tubes and they might not make them anymore. However, if anyone knows if they are available online anywhere either new or used...I would be interested in knowing where I could get some.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
