[QUOTE="claygump, post: 1159382, member: 29689"][b]First Spouse and Air-Tites[/b] So I have a question. I've noticed the earlier FS have different air-tites than the later releases. Are the older ones the "direct fit" air-tites and the later ones the "ring type"? Or maybe that is something custom from the mint that they abandoned? I really like the direct-fit ones much better. The newer coins rattle around in there a little. Its almost like the coin is in a Tupperware lunch box where the direct-fit ones are more like holding a real coin. If I'm to collect these and have plans of rolling around in them like Scrooge McDuck I'd much prefer the direct-fit holders. ;) Can anyone confirm this? I was thinking about replacing the capsule from the mint with the direct-fit version. If this a bad idea? Any thoughts from the peanut gallery? Here are two images from google that kind of show the difference. Direct-Fit? [ATTACH]120318.vB[/ATTACH] Ring-Type? [ATTACH]120319.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
