Is this an actual Air-Tite brand cap?

Yes. We do not sell any counterfeit or bootleg Air-Tite brand coin holders. All our coin holders are proudly manufactured in the USA. These are not the low-priced, cheap, imported copies that can be made of lower grade materials. Nothing but the real Air-Tite capsules will afford permanent protection to your precious collection.

Can Air-Tite capsules be used safely to store coins over a long period of time?

Absolutely. Air-Tite capsules are the industry standard archival-safe storage capsules. The material used in the creation of the capsule is a hard, crystal-clear, virgin acrylic plastic which is 100 percent PVC free. The black ring is composed of an inert foam called Volara. These two materials will never cause any reaction with your coins or harm them in any other way, and they may be used safely as permanent storage media.

What is the distinction between a Model I and a Model X6D capsule?

The major contrast is depth. The Model I (this product) is a standard internal depth of 2.92mm which is ideal with most 1oz coins and rounds. The Model X6D is a deep and high relief capsule with a 7.2mm internal depth to fit thick 2oz silver rounds such as the Scottsdale Stacker or Biblical Series. Wrong depth will lead to a bad fit.

What is the distinction between a Direct fit and a Ring fit capsule such as this one?

Direct Fit capsules are among capsules that are made to carry a particular coin with a specific diameter that has no ring. Earlier types such as this Model I Ring Fit capsules have a larger outside shell with the coin held in a soft foam ring in the center, thus fitting securely. The major benefit of a ring fit capsule is that it is versatile; the foam ring will allow some variation in coin diameter, and it also gives a nice border with an added level of protection against movement and air contamination.

How do I open an Air-Tite capsule without damaging it or my coin?

While they create a very secure seal, Air-Tite capsules can be opened safely. The recommended method is to use a thin but sturdy knife, like a pocket knife or utility knife. Carefully insert the tip of the blade into the seam where the two halves of the capsule meet and gently twist the blade to pry them apart slightly. Work your way around the edge of the capsule, repeating this action in a few spots until a gap is created. You can then use your fingernails to separate the two pieces completely. Always perform this action slowly and carefully over a soft surface to prevent scratches.

Buy Air Tite Model I - Black Ring Capsule - 39mm

Give Your 1oz Coins the Premier Archival Protection They Deserve

Your 1-ounce silver rounds, treasured Britannias, and historic early dollars are more than just investments; they are tangible assets that deserve a storage solution that not only showcases their beauty but provides uncompromising, long-term protection. The genuine Air-Tite Model I capsule with a 39mm black foam ring is precision-engineered to provide that ultimate peace of mind.

The Dangers of Improper Storage & The Air-Tite Solution

Every collector's greatest fear is damage to their prized pieces. Environmental exposure can lead to irreversible tarnish, while inferior plastic holders containing PVC can release harmful chemicals, causing permanent harm to a coin's surface and destroying its value. Even a seemingly safe holder can cause damage if the fit is not secure, as a rattling coin can suffer from abrasion on its highest points.

This is not an imitation. This is a genuine, American-made Air-Tite coin holder, trusted by collectors, dealers, and even mints for its unwavering quality and safety.

Archival Safe / PVC-Free, Materials: Crystal-clear non-yellowing acrylic is used to injection-mold the capsules. This is pure PVC plus contaminants free material that provides inert and airtight environment in which your coin will be exposed to water, oxygen and air particulates protection throughout its lifetime.
Black Volara Foam Ring: The black ring that is included is not just there to be a pretty trim. That is created using a neutral foam, which will never hurt your coin. It plays three essential roles: it firmly fixes the 39mm coin in the middle, it offers an extra layer of protection against pollution of the air, and it absorbs micro-vibrations and does not allow the coin to change its position, shaking and making noise.
Standard Depth to Fit a Perfect Fit: The Model I has a standard internal depth of 2.92mm, the precise depth to fit the thickness of most 1oz silver and copper rounds, and many world silver coins.
(Note: This is not a deep-dish or high-relief capsule). Thicker 2oz rounds are available in the Model X6D.
Scratch Resistant Clear Acrylic: The clear acrylic is hard and provides an unobstructed museum quality view on both sides of your coin including the edge. You will be able to appreciate all the little details of the design and at the same time feel that the entire design is thoroughly safe.

Take care of your collection and treat it as it should. Use the authentic Air-Tite I39 capsule when you want to display and store superiorly and with archival grade quality.
