The Collector's Choice for Archival Preservation

The Air-Tite Standard of Excellence

Since the founding of the company, Air-Tite has been the brand name of long-term coin protection. Unlike less expensive, imported, plastic holders, which may contain unknown and potentially harmful chemicals in it, all Air-Tite capsules are produced using the best ingredients in the USA. Every capsule is subjected to the strictest security in terms of clarity, durability and inertness in terms of chemicals to ensure that your investment is virtually like new, forever.

What is The Science of Safety: PVC-Free Acrylic is Non-Negotiable

Perhaps the most dangerous threat to a set of coins preserved is corrupted by Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). PVC is normally used in bendable and soft plastic flips; this plastic has chemically treated plasticizers that will leach out with time. The reaction generates a corrosive acidic solution on the surface of a coin metal and produces tacky green or white solution referred to as PVC damage. When such damage is done it can cause permanent pitting and corrosion and can lower the grade of a coin and reduce the value by a significant amount.

Air-Tite capsules are produced in a hard crystal clear, special formulation acrylic plastic (polymethyl methacrylate/polystyrene) and are 100 percent PVC free and totally devoid of other contaminating materials. It is not a reactive material and will not react with the surface of your coins, i.e. will not wear the surface of your coins over time. What is more, the acrylic is registered to have a non-yellowing component to ensure that even tens of decades spent in the stores would not affect the optical purity of the capsule it would create and color the latter.

Understanding the Model H System

The suffix of H is not merely a name, but an important element to the integrated Air-Tite storage system. It is a capsule whose special external diameter is 1.75 inches (44.45mm) and inner depth is 0.125 inches (3.17mm). Such standardized sizing is important as it will ensure that hundreds of storage solutions designed to hold Model H capsules are compatible with the sizes. This enables collectors to develop a consistent, safe, and effortlessly orderable collection which may be expanded later.

The Black Ring Advantage: Secure & Accentuate

This capsule has a familiar ring system developed by Air-Tite that comes with two unique benefits. The actual ring is produced by a Volara cross-linked polyethylene foam which is totally inert, archival safe and PVC free.

  • Secure, Cushioned Fit: The coin is held firmly and securely in the center of the capsule by the 28mm foam ring is compressed slightly around the coin. This will avoid movement and clink, which may create microscopic abrasion of the coin surface over time.
  • Exquisite presentation: The black ring gives it a gorgeous "matted" or "framed" appearance, and achieves a stunning visual contrast that highlights the details and brilliance of your silver, gold or copper coin.

Practical User Guide

Step-by-Step: How to Secure Your Coin

It is easy to do and properly encapsulate your coin and gives maximum protection.

  1. Handle with Care: When handling your coin always hold your coin by its edges, ideally with soft cotton gloves on to avoid transfer of oils on your skin to the surface of the coin.
  2. Assemble Capsule: Part the two halves of the capsule. Push the black foam ring into the deeper of the pair, the base.
  3. Inserting the Coin: Carefully put your coin in the middle of the foam ring. It is supposed to be held in place by the ring.
  4. Capsule it: Put the cover (the shallow part) on the bottom and push down all around. A sharp, definitive sound ("plink") will be felt and heard as the two halves snap into position with a permanent seal, long-term.

How to Safely Open Your Air-Tite Capsule

Air-Tite capsules are manufactured in order to ensure a secure seal though they can be opened when required. The trick is to press uniformly so as not to break the holder.

One of the most commonly advised approaches is a thin, yet strong tool, which could be a utility knife, or a sharp kitchen knife. Slip the very point of the blade into the crevice between the cover and the base. Twist the blade to make a small opening gently. Take out the blade, and proceed to do the same at a number of points round the circumference of the capsule. This will spread the pressure and you will be able to pry the two halves apart with your fingernails without cracking or marring the acrylic.

Building Your Collection's Fortress: Integrated Storage Solutions

The key to the Air-Tite system is that it is modular. The Model H capsule comes with a standardized outer diameter between 44.45mm to ensure an optimal, tight fit in archival storage systems of choice, enabling you to create a clean, professional, and extremely secure home for your collection.

  • Guardhouse Storage Boxes: These are heavy duty boxes with black flock lined interiors with precision cut slots. The Model H capsules will not rattle, but fit into the Guardhouse Large Single-Row Box (carries 25 capsules) and Guardhouse Large Double-Row Box (carries 50 capsules) just perfectly.
  • Air-Tite Capsule Tubes: If you want compact storage, in great numbers, the Air-Tite "H" Size Coin Capsule Tube is the way to go. Its tubes are made to contain 20 complete Model H capsules, assembled in a compact, stacking column.
