<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 1161733, member: 23368"]I think this finalizes the options on capsules for the Mexican Silver Libertad. There simply are none. From 1982 up till 1995, the Libertad was made from Silver blanks 36mm in diameter and 4mm thick. In 1995 until present, the blanks were revised to 40mm and thinned down and will now fit into an ASE capsule. The pre-1995 bullion pieces were shipped in cardboard tubes and never supplied with an Air-Tite style holder. The Air-tite Company states on there home page, that their 36mm ring type holder will not close properly on this particular coin. In other words, fit it the best you can and go from there. Other manufacture's don't even get this close. So my original thought of sealing the edge, remains the only option for a clear plastic holder. I think I will use clear 1/4" labeling tape and seal completely around the capsules circumference. This will offer the best seal and keep the two halves together. (Unfortunately, they come apart easily with just normal handling). Keep this thought for your future reference. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
