The Right Place for Your Collection
The coin capsule is probably the most popular and certainly the safest storage option available. It provides optimum protection against environmental factors such as skin oils and ambient air. Capsules are made from a special scratch-resistant plastic that offers a clear view of the coin from all sides. You can handle the coin without hesitation, and even if it is accidentally dropped, the piece remains fully protected.
Coin capsules come in two principal variants:
- Rimmed: offered by Leuchtturm and Lindner — both are virtually identical. In either case the coin sits with a small amount of play inside the capsule and can move slightly.
- Rimless: offered by Schaubek. These capsules are somewhat smaller than the competition; the coin sits without any clearance, which is reflected in a higher price.
Capsules are available in almost every size, and where no exact match exists, spacer rings (inlets) can be added to bridge the gap and provide an ideal contrast to the coin.
The value for money is excellent: the modern coin capsule offers the best possible protection while also presenting the coin in an elegant and prestigious way. One thing is certain — with coin capsules you are not cutting corners.
