[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2330468, member: 69760"]Just a thought... You could put an Air-tite capsule into another Air-tite! It may only work for small coins though. For example: a dime in an Air-tite, with a ring the size of the dime Air-tite's diameter, to fit inside an X-type holder with the right black ring insert. I got that idea by actually finding a way to fit a 1985 Libertad into an Air-tite, even though they said it couldn't be done! [B]Or[/B]: Vacuum seal it. Put a coin in an Air-tite without shutting it closed. The vacuum seal may actually squeeze the Air-tite shut on its own, so you won't need to close the capsule beforehand.
