<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Endeavor, post: 1847292, member: 60292&quot;]I think the Air-Tites (AT) are more effective against the elements when stored in the tube. I have a couple of these. The capped tube seems to do a good job of sealing air from entering or escaping. On top of that the coin itself is inside a sealed capsule. It acts as a double layer where both layers stand up on their own. I also like the clean look of the coin in the AT capsule (so long as it&#039;s not scratched up). </p><p><br /></p><p>My only issues with AT is that they are easy to drop (especially with coins smaller than half dollar). The other issue (if stored in tube) is having to open tube every time I want to look at coin or show it to someone. </p><p><br /></p><p>Snaplock&#039;s are easier to handle and easier to remove from storage, IMO. The coin also looks nice inside it (about same as AT). The negatives with Snaplock (in comparison to AT) is that they don&#039;t seal outside air as well AT stored in tube. They are also more expensive. </p><p><br /></p><p>The conclusion I have reached is I will continue to purchase both. I will determine which one to use depending on the coin and how much I want to look at it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
