Whats the difference between the “Direct Fit” and the “Ring Type” Air-Tite capsules?
Actually there is very little difference between the two types, both offer the same high level of protection for your coin. The main difference is the foam ring used in the ring type holder. The ring is made of volara and is totally inert and free of PVC. The foam ring is decorative but offers no additional protection for your coin. The ring simply surrounds the rim of the coin and creates a “framing” effect around the coin. The foam ring is completely safe for extreme long term storage of your coins, and will not break down or discolor your coins over time. Both sides of the coin remain totally visible in both types of capsules.
