[QUOTE="Dougmeister, post: 2525643, member: 56842"]I don't think that either company makes sizes especially for these coins. I don't have my Red Book with me, so I don't have the exact sizes for all of them. (I tried Googling them and had limited success). I found this handy chart [URL=http://www.jpscorner.com/coin-size-chart.html]here at JP's Corner[/URL] and [URL=http://www.jpscorner.com/coin-size-guide.html]here[/URL]. 1) If not, what is the closest size that would hold the coin? 2) Is there any way to keep the coins from rattling inside a holder that is too big? 3) Are the "black ring" inserts in Air-tites the solution? 4) Do any other companies make such a holder? [LIST] [*]Silver 3-cent piece (14 mm) [*]Nickel 3-cent piece (17.9 mm) [*]Half dime: 15.5 mm [*]Quarters (1796 ~ 1828): 27mm (?) [*]Half Dollar (modern): 30.61 mm [*]Ike/Peace/Morgan/Trade Dollar: 38.1 mm [*]SBA Dollar: 26.5 mm [/LIST] Gold Coinage: [LIST] [*]$1: (Type 1) 12.7 mm or (Types 2 and 3) 14.3 mm [*]$2.5: 18 mm [*]$3:20.5 mm [*]$4: 22mm [*]$5: 22.5 mm [*]$10: 27 mm [*]$20: 34.1 mm [/LIST][/QUOTE]
