<p>[QUOTE=&quot;alexthebold, post: 1702993, member: 50759&quot;]I recently came across some Air-Tite capsules in the 40mm size at a yard sale. However, they don&#039;t have the ring inserts. They are JUST big enough to put an American Silver Eagle coin into. So I tried it with one and am very glad I then thought to myself, &quot;Hmm ... Okay, that was a tight fit getting it in. Can I still remove the coin?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So, first question. Is it safe to squeeze a coin like that? Does anyone actually store their Eagles in the 40mm capsules? It seems like a heck of an extraction problem, as well as potentially damaging to the coin&#039;s reeds (as well as the rest of the coin if you have to use tools to break the capsule away). </p><p><br /></p><p>Second question. I hate to waste things, so I&#039;d like to use the capsules up on coins that they actually will fit comfortably with ring inserts. Which American (or Canadian) coins would fit into a 40mm capsule with a ring insert? Or, more generally, what does the ring insert that goes into a 40mm capsule reduce the inner diameter of the capsule to?</p><p><br /></p><p>This is what I get for going for a bargain!</p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
