<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 7341060, member: 105098&quot;]just saying, all 3 of them are 1.205&quot; by specifications, the holders inner diameter is 1.204&quot; it&#039;s 1/1000th of an inch difference.&nbsp; The problem is the album is designed for the half dollar T type holders, those are 36.5mm outer diameter. it&#039;s the only one of this size of any of the other letter types, no other capsule holder is going to fit the caps album page.</p><p><br /></p><p>if you can&#039;t get lucky with a variance on the inner diameter by trying a few different holders hoping to get one with that 1/1000th of an inch extra, the alternative would be to expand the inner diameter a hair by shaving off some of the inside lip.</p><p><br /></p><p>you should also measure the coin itself to make sure it&#039;s diameter is as it should be it could be on the high side of the tolerance also.</p><p><br /></p><p>Only other option I see is to go the route of opening up the album page hole to</p><p>44.450mm / 1.750&quot; to accept an H type ring holder, with the 26-32mm range.</p><p><br /></p><p>could probably rotozip or dremel around the inner edge of the holder and open it up by 1/1000th much easier and cleaner than trying to cut a circle bigger in the album page from 1.437&quot; to 1.750&quot; less costly to play with the inner edge of a couple airtites than messing up a page of the album trying to modify the page in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t find any alternative from other companies that fit the album holes. Ideally, Measuring the coin to be certain it&#039;s to spec diameter, then trying what airtites you have hoping for a slightly larger inner diameter is the best option over either of the other solutions.</p><p>Next best thing might be trying to warm the capsule and &quot;stretch&quot; the ID by .001-.002&quot; thinner from the inside and raise the wall upward in the process and trim it down again,</p><p><br /></p><p>Anything that involves modifications to the page or capsule is trial and error and a bit more detailed work than most people want to do.&nbsp; there isn&#039;t an off the shelf solution to this issue.</p><p><br /></p><p>You could always ask Airtite and Caps Albums in an email about this issue, I don&#039;t think it&#039;s cost effective for either of them to solve it though, it&#039;s literally 3 coins that have the problem currently. Caps would probably tell you to add a blank H Type page and put the 3 oddball sizes coins there in ring fit holders. that would solve the problem for any other oddballs that might come in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yeah, after talking this through and writing all this, Probably adding an H style page for those domed coins is the best/easiest option as a solution to the problem...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
