U.S.Mint coin capsules

[prixmo1-migration]

Does anyone know where (or even if) I can buy the exact same kind of coin "capsules" that the Mint uses? I would surely appreciate anyone's help on this!!!!!!!!

I believe the capsuls the Mint uses are custom made for the Mint. They are very similar to AirTite direct fit capsuls. My favorite source for AirTite capsules is JP's Corner, a store in Missouri where I buy almost all of my supplies. Not only are their prices good, they ship fast, and they are one of the few establishments I know that will sell individual AirTite holders that are not in blister packs, which drives up the price.

 

Check out their website at http://www.jpscorner.com/ for the full list of their section.

 

No... I don't work for JP's. I am just a very satisfied customer!

Thank you, Scott, for the info! I went to the website and I see the AirTites you are talking about. I think I can get what I want there. (and some other stuff, too!) Thanks, again!!

Agreed - JP's Corner rocks

I realize this is off-topic, but ... I just made a purchase at JP's Corner yesterday after hearing (reading) about it on this thread. I'd been buying from the Brent-Krueger Group website for the last year and they charge a heck of a lot for shipping, and I wanted to see what JP's was like. I was looking for an Airtite size H album, 20 Airtite Direct-fits for Peace dollars, 2 Airtite 23 mm capsules for a half penny and a 2-cent, and 4 quarter tubes. JP's came to $33 with shipping, and B-K came to $36 without shipping ($45 with). Guess who got my cash?

 

The main difference was on the price of the Airtites, which cost a little under 50¢ from JP's but about 80¢ from B-K (and they're usually around $1 from a dealer). So yeah, if you're looking to buy lots of Airtites, I'm recommending JP's, too.

Yeah, JP's are cool. I had them ship some Airtites to me in the UK. They were speedy, cheap and real nice to deal with. I recommend them all the time.

I should say that while I very nearly unconditionally recommend JP's Corner, if you're only getting a few low-dollar items (even, say, a single dansco album) you can often get a better deal with shipping and overall cost via eBay. That's where I buy my danscos. With eBay, I can usually get an album shipped for JP's cost before shipping.

Brent Krueger's Danscos are much cheaper than JP's.
