<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Keevan, post: 7556996, member: 112598&quot;]I got a batch of A-22 air-tites in today and started putting some gold sovereigns inside, and I noticed that one of them (1911) would not fit into the direct-fit airtite (22mm), it would not lie flat in the circular indentation in the plastic holder. I got a few other comparable sovereigns and they fit fine.</p><p><br /></p><p>I started thinking that the 1911 was possibly fake because all other sovereigns fit fine in the airtite holder.</p><p>I took some measurements as best I could and there&#039;s nothing that really sticks out in comparison with the others I measured.</p><p><br /></p><p>Am I unnecessarily worried about a 110+ year old coin that didn&#039;t get struck with the exact right dimensions to make it fit into a plastic holder? Perhaps it&#039;s not perfectly circular or flat.</p><p>If the coin in question fit in the airtite fine, I would have no reason to consider it as possibly suspect since it passes all my tests (sigma, magnet, dimension weight, ping test, etc).</p><p><br /></p><p>Year&nbsp; &nbsp; Diameter&nbsp; &nbsp; Thickness&nbsp; &nbsp; Grams&nbsp; &nbsp; Sigma&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Fits in A22 airtite?</p><p>1911&nbsp; &nbsp; 22.26mm&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1.58mm&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 8.0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; mid - 2&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; No, won&#039;t lie flat inside unless I force it in</p><p>1928&nbsp; &nbsp; 22.07mm&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1.52mm&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 8.0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; mid - 1&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Yes</p><p>1903&nbsp; &nbsp; 22.24mm&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 1.56mm&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 8.0&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; mid - 1&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Yes[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
