Buy Air Tite Model Y - Black Ring Capsule - 50.8mm

Not merely a hoard, your collection is history, artistry, and legacy. The Genuine Air-Tite Model Y capsule offers museum-grade, archival protection for 2 inch coin or medal. Precision-moulded and chemically inert it acts as an exceedingly strong barrier against scratches, contaminants and the ravages of time. It is the perfect nest for a challenge coin or a silver round.

Features & Benefits

• Archival-Safe Protection: Crafted from non-yellowing acrylic and equipped with an inert foam ring, the capsule is entirely PVC-free. This prevents currents and chemical reactions that could cause discoloration or a bad texture on the metal surface…over time.
• Secure, Airtight Seal: Two identical pieces of the capsules fit precisely enough that they snap together. This airtight seal blocks out both oxygen and humidity, effectively preventing silver, copper and other metals from corroding or otherwise tarnishing under normal storage conditions.
• Stunning Visual Presentation: The strikingly different black foam ring makes a sharp contrast that gives coins within a cloth-like texture as well as their appropriate frames. Not like those old plastic holders, it turns your coin into a piece of art while still meeting all archival preservation standards.
• Precision Fit for 50.8mm Items: The foam ring, designed for 2-inch collectibles, compresses smoothly to fit objects securely. This exact fit prevents movement and cushioning that would allow scuffs or tiny scratches to form over time. Thus it maintains the original state of the surface even if kept for many years.
• Durable & Reusable: This capsule can be opened and resealed repeatedly without any loss in the protective strength. Collectors can thus get at their coins whenever they want to, and the holding case never requires replacement.
• Made in The USA: As a genuine Air-Tite product, this capsule is U.S.-made to strict quality standards, ensuring its reliability, consistency, and resilience. Collectors can count on the best protection attainable which is used widely for archival storage around the world. Shipping around the world really fast.

The Science of Preservation: Why Archival-Grade Materials Matter

In the opinion of professional coin students, material selection is what actually preserves something. The Air-Tite capsules, composed of top-quality (quality) acrylic, provide better optical clarity and protection from ultraviolet light than cleaner polystyrene products. Acrylic doesn't turn cloudy or outgas either--unlike fragile polystyrene, which will remain clear and durable over time to guarantee your coins can be both safe and beautiful without dimming or yellowing with age.

Besides, Air-Tite holders are entirely free of PVC. Flips based on PVC discharge poisonous plasticizers which leave a pungent green film on coins, permanently damaging the surface of copper and silver. Air-Tite's state-of-the-art polyethylene foam ring and chemically stable acrylic eliminate this risk completely, positioning them as the professional standard for safe long-term preservation. They give peace of mind and provide museum-grade protection for your valuable collections.
