<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 963785, member: 19065"]What you fail to understand is that Air-Tite Holders are not<i> air tight</i>, there is <u>no seal</u> built into the capsule at all, nor is there a seal generated when the two halves are brought together, therefore there is no seal to be made nor unmade. This encapsulation system requires no sonic device for sealing the edges like a TPG slab requires. Air-Tite Holders only require slight pressure exerted on two halves of pristine acrylic material which clings to itself to encapsulate a coin. Furthermore it doesn't matter if you buy the Air-Tite Holders in the red retail packaging individually or loose in bulk, halves paired up (with or without rings), they all operate the same way. No seal is implied in their design, these holders only offer a layer of protection from finger prints, hits, accidentally splashed spittle, maybe a tiny drop of liquid, etc. but nothing is guaranteeing you that an air-tight, mositure-proof seal has been made. If you don't believe me go to the lab... test the air tightness, submerge a new capsule in liquid and leave it there... and <a href="http://www.airtiteholders.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.airtiteholders.com/" rel="nofollow">write to the manufacturer</a> to inquire about any statement guaranteeing their products performance for air and moisture proof protection. It doesn't exist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
