Kristofer Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 How much do you guys pay for each airtight capsule? I almost died when I saw some guys at the flea market selling them for about $1.50 - $2.00 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleBobo Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I usually pay somewhere in the neighborhood of a dollar or less. If I was buying in bulk I would pay less buy I usually only buy one at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marianne Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I've bought mixed sizes in quantities of 100 to get a better discount and save on shipping. With shipping included, I've paid .49-.57 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I pay more, because I never buy a lot of coins of the same sizes, right now I will need some for some 20CHF's that are on my way, and some more for some Scottish Half Lions and Ryals from the 16th century.

Kristofer Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 29 cents - that is as cheap as you will find them  Great! Thanks a lot! I wonder if the ones those guys were selling were made of gold? Transparent gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElleKitty Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Airties are marked at a dollar each at my local coin store. No shipping fees, no waiting time. Generally though, if I'm making a large enough purchase of coins, they'll let me have a few airtites free of charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreasureGirl Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 The ones from Valley Coin are not in the blister packs so they are more likely to rub up against each other in shipping. Generally, I like that site for large orders; if I need just one for my 3-cent nickel, I'll get one from my local dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I put almost all my coins in Whitman Classic Albums. Each album is in a zip lock plastic bag with as much air as possible pushed out. I've been collecting for well over 60 years now and not one of my coins have toned, corroded, tarnished, etc. No expensive air tights, gel packs, etc. Just a zip lock bag. Way, way back prior to them I used just a plastic bag. However, in another few hundred years this may not work. If not I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I like the plastic bag idea. But for my plastic bags I only use them for long term storage. But that may be because I vaccum pack them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwing Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I can't say for certain (because I don't remember exactly), but I've purchase coin tubes for pennies, nickels, quarters and dollar coins and they ranged from about $.39-$.59. The tubes I bought were new too. I'm guessing the one's the guy at the flea market was selling could have been used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just carl Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I like the plastic bag idea. But for my plastic bags I only use them for long term storage. But that may be because I vaccum pack them. HMMMM. That is great idea. Many of my albums are complete and as high a grade per coin as I think I'll ever find so I too may try that vacuum idea. I like that. With over 100 albums it is a problem at times opening and resealing those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 For Vaccum packing I use a food saver. It has clear side and a patterned side(That is hard to look through). So if you Want to keep the album open and Want to keep it sealed then I think You will like it. I use it to keep coins in unc roles looking new. They are also water tight.
