<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4515340, member: 19463"]These jars come with a foam insert that is soft and easily compresses but hold the item in place as you placed it. If the item is thick, you can cut it a bit to make the pressure less which is what I do for larger items like the Akragas 'teeth' that do not fit in paper envelopes well. </p><p><img src="https://www.gemsondisplay.com/products-zoom/83-2M(BK)-2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>They come in several sizes with up to 50 jars in a box with foam insert. The ones I get locally also have a glass in cardboard lid over all the jars. The glass lid more than doubles the price to $12 as of ten years ago when I got mine. Most of mine are the 36 jar set but I got one 50 which fits small size cash in stacks so duplicates stay together. The obvious problem with these is that you only see one side of the coin unless you open them. Most people put a adhesive label on the outside of the jar but I made acid free paper 'doughnuts' using two circular punches I borrowed from my daughter who scrapbooks and has all the tools. My small silver has been in these for about 15 years now without my noticing problems (toning etc.) but I do not know if these are fully archival. I have not been back to the store where I got them for ten years so I do not know if they are still available but I see things online with the idea so I suspect they are a standard item for some use. I will need another if I buy another few coins since my four boxes are almost full now. If I can not find more that match, I can always evict the cash.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
