Anyway, does anyone recognize the holder that this coin is in? (The coin came within this holder when I purchased it.) It is an airtite and the coin is kept centered within a black foam-like ring. Does anyone know this product and whether is poses a danger to the coin? And if not, where can one order such items? I really like the look of these and would like to get more for my other silver crowns.

From http://www.brent-krueger.com/airtite.html
The choice holder of numismatic archivists. All holders are manufactured using acrylic plastic with a non-yellowing agent, producing a two-piece snap together friction fit cover and base. Rings are produced by cross linked polyethylene (trade name "Volara"), which is totally inert. None of the components contain any PVC. The holders are highly durable and scratch resistant.
BTW: On the camera, it looks like a White Balance issue. You camera may have a setting for different lighting conditions to get the color to come out right. Looks like the pic was taken under incandescent lighting in a setting made for natural light. Light bulbs are much more yellow than daylight.
You may be able to use a generic white balance setting or some camera will let you do a manual one by pointing at a white pice of paper in the light you are using and it sets it from there. Check you manual for White Balance.
