How to Use them?

It is easy to encapsulate your coin properly and guarantee that the maximum protection is provided.

1. Clean Your Workspace: Never work on a rough surface or on a dirty surface; it can easily scratch your watch. Use a clean soft surface such as a microfiber towel. Wearing cotton gloves is highly advised so that you fail to pass the oils on your fingertips to the surface of the coin.
2. Insert the Coin: Take your coin, by its edges only, and very carefully insert it into the bottom of the capsule holding the black foam ring.
3. Seal the Capsule: Fit the clear cover in the base and press lightly and evenly around to close the capsule. You will notice and feel that kind of a snap as the capsule clicks and forms a secure seal.
4. Pro-Tip Re-opening: The Air-Tite capsules are designed to allow long term storage but may be re-opened. The least dangerous way is a thin, sharp utility or craft knife. Push the tip of the blade into that seam between the two parts of the capsule and turn it carefully. You must ease around the sides, leaving a slight opening, until you will be able to lift apart the two halves with the tips of your fingers. Remember that repeated openings can injure the edge a little and loosen the seal.
