[QUOTE="Clint, post: 1574739, member: 34620"]I have a some coins in slightly over-sized airtites and quadrums, and am wondering about the probability of rubbing.

Here are some examples: proof and MS Canadian quarters in U.S. quarter-size airtites, U.S. nickles in Quadrums (yeah, they don't fit right), Britannias in ASE-size Quadrums. Each [U]can [/U]rattle a bit...although I don't play them like Maracas! But these are mostly MS and PF, so I want to care for the surfaces... This is curious to me, since I read the first year Peace dollars had a problem stacking (?), so I wondered if the design height was actually taller than the rim? Put another way, if the designs are lower than the height of the rims, do the rims basically protect the designs from rubbing? Is this the case with certain common series?[/QUOTE]
