9;27 Dude- never underestimate my desire to see amazing bullion. I would have gladly watched you switch every capsule.
Ha! Good to know! 😁
First gold bullion I bought, held in my hand, and it changed my life in that instant. It does something to you
Yea, it's called addiction.
@@thealize808 I’m convinced it’s one of the reasons why the western governments and the financial industry (apparently) don’t like us owning gold. If everyone was into it, it’d be a real competition for the system.
Exactly after I bought my first coin I became addicted to purchasing gold and silver. I guess it's aleast a good way to spend your fiat currency.
As a newbie myself, the best line ever said was from this video: “people will tell you that gold is gold and these coins are just bullion and a scratch doesn’t matter, BUT it matters to me….”
I’m like, hell yes, it matters.
You, me and just about everyone else!
A car is just a car. Dents don’t matter. Hell yes it matters!
Especially if you decide to sell them for numismatic value, which can yield considerably higher prices and make you MORE money.
I prefer the black ring. Makes the gold pop better for the buffalo!
On Fire Guy website is cheaper than Amazon.
I buy a lot from OnFireGuy _on_ Amazon. Best of both worlds? (I’m too lazy for deals.) 🤣
@@2is1gold no he's cheaper on his website
Thanks, SB!
I think I like the clear direct fit better.
you have the voice of a dispatcher
If I can get them, black ring airtites are my favourite. They keep the coin snug, eliminating rattle and possible wear and they show off the coin. I bought mine in large quantities from JP's Corner, with considerable savings due to volume.
Regarding soft 9999 coins, my dealer was going to send one of his Maples to be melted because it was bent but otherwise in good condition. I asked him to pass it to me and using only my fingers, I straightened it out. It was back to retail status.
Have a Happy New Year.
I bent a Maple Leaf back into flat state too. Wild how malleable they are!

WIth the ring type you can fit more different size coins in the same tube, which is important if you don't have a full tube of the similar size to put together.
You turd 😂🤣 I like PCGS better too because I can see the hole coin. Yes no ring but can't find them for ¼ maples.
I can’t give you all the credit! Poor Florida needed some love! 😆😂
@@2is1gold 🤣😂👊🏼👍🏼
I have a good amount of my coins in capsules with black foam rings, the contrast of the gold and black makes the coin Pop more !
Then again, coins with nice rims with lettering or ridges look great in the clear direct fit capsules !
Depends on my mood 😉
I recently bought my first gold coin, while showing my family members it slipped from my hand... it now has a small dent on the edge. Buy a capsule people!
It happens! 😬
You just convinced me;)
@@ikust007 I am thinking of buying my first gold coin - I like the idea of these direct-fit capsules :))
Is there no need to wipe off fingerprints before storing long-term in a capsule??? If you do feel a need to wipe off fingerprints, what do you use?
Soaking in warm water with a small amount of dish washing soap is how I do it. Then lightly dab and air dry
I like keeping full tubes of silver and don't mess with them. I buy one extra coin for each tube series which I capsule for viewing. 10 oz bars I keep in the original sealed plastic, lcs prefers original wrap if I ever sale. Probably will capsules at least one of each series. They display so much better. The black trim rings highlights coins, especially gold coins. All gold gets capsuled.
That's Hilarious I watch Graham Stephan Vids all the time for that I will destroy the like button. Hey where's your link to webull? lol
🤣
I don’t know why I never did this before, but after this video I pulled the trigger... they came in today and omg: how have I been living? Thanks man! Love the videos!
Ha! Yeah, I’d go nuts without capsules! 😁
Got lucky with my LCS and paid .25 cents for capsules.
Great review. I have a love hate view on capsules - like the guardhouse ones as they fit in the “shocking” guardhouse boxes lol! I personally do not like the ring capsules but for the RCM coins that’s a hard find. Ha thanks for the comment! Yes I do prefer the clear ones! Beautiful!
Hey Florida - thanks for watching! Your videos always make it clear how much better coins/bars can look when you keep them in capsules and tubes. Kind of a lightweight topic, but it comes up all the time.
Problem with the small guardhouse box is the smaller guardhouse 22mm and 20mm capsules dont fit snug you gotta use the airtights with the rings because they are larger and they fit snug.
I bought the capsules and tube for 1/10 oz maple leafs. I find they don't fit the black rings very well. I do love a RCM bar in the capsule.
I have some of the colored rings but seeing the clear direct fit I really like those too. I’ll probably get a some of those for a little more variety. Thanks for showing these capsules.
👍🏽
Sure thing! The direct fit look great!
That does look better than black rings! You might have gotten me to switch!
I have a mix, because of availability and some being delivered in a capsule. I definitely prefer the direct fit you put your Buffaloes in. Looks like I have another excuse to handle my gold! Thank you!
For sure! 😄
On fire 🏃🔥guy.....
There I said it...
What who said what??
Lol 🤣😆🤣
Any links I have for capsules are OnFireGuy on Amazon. I get them faster and cheaper that way. I do wonder if they're authentic, though. They're never branded Air-Tite and I find quality issues all the time. They're still good, though. Cheers!
@@2is1gold I'm sure he buys in bulk and repackages I haven't had any problems they're crystal clear and no scratches no dust I have had nothing but good product come from on fire guy whether it's from him directly or one of his order fillers......
I love your channel ...not Graham Stephen's..he is a fraud in my opinion. Keep up the good work ! Do the coins rattle in the direct fit ?
Most don’t. Britannias do slightly.
@@2is1gold thanks for thr quick response..I have the house to myself on my off day today and I'm binge watching more of your videos ! 😅😅
I like squares for gold and direct fit circles for silver. Just differentiates them in my treasure chest a bit nicer.
I just ordered some capsules from Amazon... Thanks for the information.
Of course! Thanks for watching!
Looks like I’m gonna be ordering some direct fit .... smh 🤦♂️
Ha, so much for keeping that premium low! 😄
Who has time to put all the gold into capsules?... I do like the capsules so I can go Scrooge McDuck and sleep in my bullion. I agree about the direct fit and gold.. looks great.
Indecent Proposal is what I’m going for with mine!😅
A hobby that wives probably don’t mind at all 😃
Do you have to use a knife to open the capsule always? I put my fractional gold in capsule, but it’s hard to open lol
Typically, yes.
@@2is1gold ah I see. Well at least it’s safe in the capsule lol 😆
Do you find the coins rattle about in these cases?
US Mint coins don’t. Royal Mint and Perth Mint coins do.
Just ordered some direct fits from On Fire Guy yesterday. I’ve been buying 1/10 ounce Eagles from a dealer who sells all his bullion coins in direct fit capsules.
You are awesome: you gave me the measurements i need for my ML:)
I’m aware this video is old but your voiceovers have the clicking when u are pressing record for your voiceover love the content just adding my 2 cents also the slight audio buzzing when you are pressing record is very easy to fix it’s usually within your audio input output settings
I actually do watch Graham Stephen lmao.
I do sometimes. Guilty pleasure! 😅
Where do you typically buy online? I’ve been making some purchases off eBay. I’ve ordered several of the MS70 silver eagles, and got a stack of 25 Canadian silver maples. Just getting in to stacking so I can store this stuff in my safe.
Excellent, Mr. Johnson. Yes, I already understood all of this video's content. But, your explanations are a critical re-enforcement to my level of understanding. In other words, I'm typically not so clear as to how to properly use the knowledge that I have. To clarify, what i refer to as "knowledge" in my brain is essentially just "Data." The benefit I recieve from your explanations is that now I have the ability to transform all that disparate data in my brain into actionable information.
Thanks.
THIS Is the video I've been looking for! TYVM from Australia 🌏 😊
I prefer direct fit. Just "feels better". Not a financial choice but a "pirate, me gold!!!" choice. Always direct fit for all my coins and bars.
I need capsules for SERIES 1 Australian lunars in 1/2, 1 and 2 ounce 3.17 thick
Nice video! But does anybody know what are good capsules available in Europe (because shipping from air tite costs more than 50$)?
Im curious what is the material composition of the coin cases you use. While browsing on amazon / ordering there. I notice some are labeled PVC despite product description saying no PVC. Then others not listing it but on the box that arrives it says its made of PVC and EVA. I thought PVC was not used for coin products anymore since PVC damages silver via that green discoloration. Do coin capsules follow the same rule as the sheets that PVC coin capsules are dangerous to your silver? My local coin shop did not seem to really know when I spoke to them today.
I even put my generic 10oz bars in them. Adds to the "dollar cost averaging" price, but I'm fussy about most of my stack. I used them for my 2oz gold pesos just so I don't lose the little devils! LOL... I like the black border to make the gold or silver POP. In a lot of cases a stacker or LCS will pay a little extra if they're not scratched, even though a lot o people claim it's all about the weight. I like "On Fire Guy". If I ever start putting my Junk silver into capsules, I'll look for an OCD 12 Step Meeting! Thanks for the info.
Ha, right. The generic rounds get their own little chest. Or do they? Dealers definitely care about wear on coins. Anyone who tells you otherwise is dealing with an LCS that only pays melt or they haven't checked.
I just received my 1st 1/4 oz Britannias BU and 2 of the 3 had small dings/scratches on the surface. Smh.
Just stumbled onto this video. Who would think it would be so difficult finding the right “fit” for coins. Leave it to the damn gold maple leaf to be some weird size. I finally ordered a tube. Gotta start somewhere right? Lol. Good job not slicing your finger. (I would have.) ha ha
I don’t know what’s going on with the 30mm (Maples). There are silver dollars that same size, but Air-Tite makes a totally different capsule for them. 👎🏼😄
What's best coin capsule for all 1oz coins that have no movement in them with out the gasket I want just the capsules no movement
Maples don't have direct fits so it would be nice for tube identification. Black rings mean Maples, direct fit for everything else.
I would be tearing my house apart and accusing everyone in my family of taking said eagle. 😅
Ha! I have only myself to blame! 😡😁
Now I need to get those🤦🏻♂️😂
When I get a nice condition coin, why wouldn’t I try to preserve that? Although every time I’ve ever sold a bullion coin, the shop doesn’t care about condition. Until they’re re selling it.
I use a lot of air tite black ring capsules, but certain coins I prefer the direct fit capsules, especially my uncirculated high quality Peace Dollars.
It definitely matters if you keep it in a capsule or not because when you go to sell it to your LCS or wherever whoever it is is going to pay you less money if it’s all dinged up and scratched and they will pay you more money for your coins if it’s not all dinged and scratched and it’s in good BU condition.
.
How does the 'direct fit' capsules handle the increased thickness of the gold buffalos? (You did a video that showed the buffalo coins were thicker than the American Eagles).
They're very similar in thickness. The same capsule works well for either coin.
I agree on having gold in capsules and high premium silver collectibles. Not eagles like I did. 🤦🏻♂️
By Eagles, you mean ASEs? I did that for two tubes - at first just because I was overly excited but then because I planned to save one for each of my kids. The ASEs in tubes tones as much as any I had in mint tubes, by the way. 👎🏼
Wow. Stacking stormtrooper. 👍
I like the look of these capsules, but concerned that you touch the coins directly with your bare hands. Seems like cotton gloves would be wiser.
What size capsule and tube would you recommend for the 1/4 oz Canadian gold maple leaf 22m?
I’m looking for tubes for my 1oz silver Tuvalu and Australia coins that are in capsules. Also I’m looking for a tube for 1/10 oz maples and philharmonics, and the 15mm black ring seemed tight for my maples even though I was told to get them...? Any advice. Thanks man. Also what size direct fit for 1/10 oz maples and philharmonics?
1/10 Maples, Philharmonics and Eagles are all 16mm. OnFireGuy.com will have everything you need!
2 is 1 ya I saw that when I looked up the specs but I was told to get the 15mm ones by on fire guy, oh well going forward I know to get 16mm direct fit or black ring.
Mike DeCarlo huh. Weird.
Sorry for the late comment,
Do you know of any good containers to maintain multiple tubes?
MIA ... nice way of explaining where missing coins are! I have a couple tubes of silver dollars MIA for a few months. smh
Found! Exactly one year to the week later. Love the direct fits for my fractional gold.
My Gold Maples go into capsules. Silver bullion rounds in mint tubes.
All my gold is in a safety deposit box in a bank, My 90 yr old Mom is the only other person that know the lock box exists
The ones with the black background are gorgeous!
Hey thanks for your awesome presentation! What size capsules should I get for my American Buffalo Native American gold coin one oz size?
Does it help you to go through the links provided? If so I may use those.
I want to collect the 1/4oz gold lunar tiger coins. Do these capsules work for that coin?
Just send me all the foam ring capsules!!😊…tired of spending money on them
Amen someone who actually thinks like me. Even if it's bullion if it looks like trash you are going to get less for them.
I know this video is a little bit older but I do not use foam rings on any of my coins...especially gold coins. I am not going to take a chance with the foam up against the coin for 10, 20, 30 years and hope there is no impact on the coin. Call me cautious I guess but there is no reason to have the foam touching the coin (expect that it may look better)...JMHO. Thanks 2 is 1.
Yeah I agree. I'm not sure when the direct fit became available, but I don't remember being able to get a hold of them when I started. Cheers!
No reason to interduce more chemicals to the equation (foam).
I ordered a gold Maple from TD Bank and all they put it in was an opened-ended plastic pouch.
What kind of poly carbonate is this capsule made up of?
Thanks for this video. I personally do not like the foam rings at all. Great content.
Me either. They had to go! 😄
Reeve Sebenza - am I right?
You are!
The Air Tite Direct-Fit Capsules look soo great! I like the size a lot. Unfortunately not available in Germany 😑
Check with your bullion dealer.
This popped up in my feed. Practical info. Your videos have become much more polished since then.
This is an option I’ve never considered, always just leaving products in tubes, rubbing together. This is a good idea. 🤔 Guess I’ll go sell a few ounces of gold to finance some capsules. 🤣 $12 a pop!! Cheesenrice! Maybe a dealer would offer bulk discount?
South Korean gold comes in capsules that have a small indentation on the side. So easy to open.
I’ve seen them. Don’t even need a fancy knife to get them open! 😁
should collect China panda instead. appreciation is much higher only because each year the design is different and Chinese are getting richer and they tend to collect gold
Ok: direct fit is for me even though there is sometime a bit « rich » with the black ring. But ...direct fit it will be .
The Chris Reeve tho ❤❤
🤜🤛
Love the knife cameos! I just love PJ Sebenzas. Cheers!
No 30mm (gold maple) direct fit with the same outer diameter as the others.
The coin capsules that see the gold on the sides are 100% better than the black.
Agreed. I’ve cut over to direct-fit completely.
Loved the black edge on the gold coins. Now you got me thinking about the clear capsules. Damnnnnnit!! Lol.
Ha! Sorry!
what tube do you use to put your loaded capsules inside? golden maple leaf 1 oz
I was at a coin show recently inquiring about capsules. When I pulled out a plastic "sheet" of 1/4oz eagles to show the dealers how I had them (original packaging), both dealers I spoke with encouraged me not to put them in capsules but to leave them in their original containers. Both said they'd give me more money for 'em if I left 'em in there. Now, as much as I like capsules and would like to use them, I store any purchases in their original containers, which is usually a plastic film with cardboard edges, with the receipt in a small craft bag, keeping that purchase together with itself. I still wish I had capsules for the sake of easier handling and storage, but hey, this works and I'm not the type to take 'em outta the safe for handling or viewing later. I buy 'em. I set 'em in there, and I forget about 'em for another day. A day that must eventually happen.
One of these times when you open them up with that knife you are going to cut your finger off ! You drink to much coffee. Lol .
Has anyone experienced finding little bits of fluff or other small debris on the inside of their capsules? What is the best way to avoid this and to clean the capsules before inserting gold or silver coins without damaging them?
I clean mine with whatever shirt I’m wearing. 😄🤣
Anthony-replying late to this after your post, but I recommend the GearFend Dust Cleaner for $4.99 on Amazon. It’s intended for camera equipment, but it works nicely for blowing any microscopic debris out of your Air-Tites and off of the coins themselves.
-Additional bonuses are that my 7-year-old daughter loves blowing it in my face unexpectedly and I’ve deceived my wife into thinking that stacking is a serious hobby now that she’s witnessed me using a weird-looking device on my, excuse me-“our”--coins! 😂
@@theenglishprofessor8411 Thanks for the tip!
@@anthonytanner2343 ...happy to assist a fellow stacker! 👌

Hi there! I'm looking for a clear direct fit capsule for my 1oz Britannia. Noticed that for Britannia it is 32.69mm. Will buying 32.7mm still be a perfect fit which doesn't make any noise when shaken? Thanks!
It will rattle slightly.
GREAT video. Adding this to my "Community Classics" playlist. Cheers!
Thanks!
Is there a gap between the upper and lower half for the gold maple? I couldn't tell from the video. It looks like the 30mm Air-Tite Direct Fit capsule is 2.03 mm deep and the 1oz gold maple is 2.80 thick. Can't seem to find which capsule is best for the 1oz gold maple. Great videos!
Thanks. I like the direct fit capsules for Maples: amzn.to/3pYmLoO
Direct fit definitely looks better ty I’ll be picking those up 4 now on
👍
It is making me cringe for handling those gold coins without gloves. Something that expensive should be handled in the utmost care.
My gold? Nah. You should see the local coin shop guys I buy it from! I’m like a surgeon or nuclear pharmacist compared to them. 😅
Did you ever find the 1/4 oz Eagle?! 😊
Direct fit just look amazing. I feel like Smaug when I pile them up in front of me with all that gold glowing through the capsules.
The direct fit are my favorite because you can see the edges. Thanks for sharing
Same. Now I just need to find something to do with a pile of black ring capsules. 😄
2 is 1 eBay the lot!
I think they're good for soft gold coins. Gold Maples are so soft that you can scratch them by looking at them.
At $1900 per oz, you bet that I'm putting them in capsules.
Does anyone know if you can get direct fit capsules for maples? (same as rhe buffalo capsules in this video)
