Coin Holders – AirTite Direct Fit vs. AirTite Ring Fit

Posted by Megan

One of the most fascinating and attractive things about coin collecting is that you are given the option to choose. As a coin collector, you are able to choose what type of coin you wish to pursue and collect, as well as how you would like that coin to be presented.

Two perfect options for presenting each individual coin is the AirTite Direct Fit coin capsule and the AirTite Ring Fit coin capsule. Both of these coin holders have numerous advantages because, as practically all coin-collecting enthusiasts know, imperfections on coins have such a direct impact, leading to direct negative impact on the coin’s value.

Both the AirTite Direct Fit and the AirTite Ring Fit do a remarkable job of protecting a coin from damage.  The AirTite Direct Fit allows the coin to sit in more tightly, taking up less space. The AirTite Ring Fit, meanwhile, provides the coin with a cushioned foam ring — usually black or white — that allows more of a contrast between the cushioning and the coin, when clasped in the AirTite Ring Fit. Both products do an outstanding job of showcasing and presenting a coin.  For specific sizing information on which coin capsule would work for your coin collection, please refer to our previous blog post with an AirTite sizing chart.

Both of these coin holders are affordably priced. The AirTite Ring Fit costs just $0.89, and the AirTite Direct Fit is just $0.69 per unit. Both provide pristine/crystal viewing and storage.
