[QUOTE="COCollector, post: 2525721, member: 76108"]I prefer the black ring air-tites. I use 'em for most of my capsuled coins. But they block the inscriptions on edge-lettered coins. So I have some "direct-fit" capsules. Unfortunately, sometimes it's a very "loose-fit". To prevent rattling, I use a wedge: [IMG]http://i381.photobucket.com/albums/oo259/JBROWN7840/Coins/Capped%20Bust%20capsule%20with%20wedge%201_zpsen0b7vwz.jpg[/IMG] Some 2 oz Rounds fit better than others...
