[QUOTE="imrich, post: 1639737, member: 22331"][b]Air-Tite Design Allows Ease Of Installation[/b] As a past Design Engineer, I believe that the design is such to allow maximum ease of installation, with minimal chance for contamination, by never having the foam out of the holder. From my observations, they've delivered the foam in the half having a larger inside diameter so that the foam is allowed to expand diametrically when inserting the coin into the foam inside diameter. This process should relatively eliminate the inside "foam rolling" upon coin insertion. This process generally accommodates coin insertion, with a gloved hand, without contamination. The half with the smaller diameter can then be placed as an inverted cup over the foam/coin assembly, allowing careful inversion to tuck the foam outside diameter into the smallest half inside diameter. Upon centering the foam/coin completely into smaller diameter "cup", the larger inside diameter half, inverted "cup" downward, can be carefully squeezed onto the the smaller "cup" upward half. If carefully assembled by squeezing at the diametral center between thumb and the forefinger, excess air should be expelled/removed, a slight sealing vacuum induced, and the coin centered on the foam holder thickness. Patience is a determining factor for successful assembly of this foam coin enclosure. If impatient, please consider purchasing the enclosure without foam, as assembly with a hammer may result in a distasteful appearance. JMHO :thumb:[/QUOTE]
