The Best Coin Capsules for Gold and Silver

[@LassieFarm]

First gold bullion I bought, held in my hand, and it changed my life in that instant. It does something to you

[@thealize808]

Yea, it's called addiction.

[@alexpearson8481]

@@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.

[@Goldstacker1972-kp2bh]

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.

[@mowingtrimmingedging214]

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.

[@2is1gold]

You, me and just about everyone else!

[@Jeffhuebner]

A car is just a car. Dents don’t matter. Hell yes it matters!

[@_CYB0RG_]

Especially if you decide to sell them for numismatic value, which can yield considerably higher prices and make you MORE money.

[@syzygysyzygy8332]

9;27 Dude- never underestimate my desire to see amazing bullion. I would have gladly watched you switch every capsule.

[@2is1gold]

Ha! Good to know! 😁

[@mk1fourwinds62]

This popped up in my feed. Practical info. Your videos have become much more polished since then.

[@appleztooranges]

I prefer the black ring. Makes the gold pop better for the buffalo!

[@thousandaireradio3199]

I love the sound of the direct fit closing on a coin

[@alexlitner6611]

Love the knife cameos! I just love PJ Sebenzas. Cheers!

[@RealMrMark]

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!

[@2is1gold]

Ha! Yeah, I’d go nuts without capsules! 😁

[@BlacksmithBets]

The ones with the black background are gorgeous!

[@michaelbuckley6710]

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 😉

[@meteoman7958]

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.

[@2is1gold]

I bent a Maple Leaf back into flat state too. Wild how malleable they are!

[@kevinhamer2230]

I think I like the clear direct fit better.

[@mattybravo9104]

THIS Is the video I've been looking for! TYVM from Australia 🌏 😊

[@Ted0302]

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.

GREAT video. Adding this to my "Community Classics" playlist. Cheers!

Thanks!

[@joesteele3159]

Love those gold buffaloes! Absolutely beautiful. Looking forward to getting one for my own soon.

[@bostonstacker6811]

The direct fit are my favorite because you can see the edges. Thanks for sharing

[@2is1gold]

Same. Now I just need to find something to do with a pile of black ring capsules. 😄

[@wonderboy2402]

2 is 1 eBay the lot!

[@BertiferousRex]

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.

[@everettwhite9874]

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. 👍🏽

[@2is1gold]

Sure thing! The direct fit look great!

[@Wonederdad71]

Loved the black edge on the gold coins. Now you got me thinking about the clear capsules. Damnnnnnit!! Lol.

[@2is1gold]

Ha! Sorry!

[@thinkingoutloud6741]

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!

[@2is1gold]

For sure! 😄

[@DS-tt9vz]

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.

[@jaybarr3307]

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.

[@CashAndCoinsYT]

I just ordered some capsules from Amazon... Thanks for the information.

[@2is1gold]

Of course! Thanks for watching!

[@saltwatersaddletramp7229]

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.

[@wailee6621]

Definitely fun watching you play with your babies !

[@2is1gold]

Ha, thanks!

[@nvarras7]

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.

[@mr.stacker347]

That does look better than black rings! You might have gotten me to switch!

[@AndresRamirez-fi5uw]

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!

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!

[@2is1gold]

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.

[@kdi9049]

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.

[@billconstantino8491]

Very informative,,, thank you , just getting started

[@2is1gold]

Good luck!

[@EchoCreep]

Gold with black just look beautiful

[@marshallstrong462]

Hah.. Aesthetic matters! Pictures don’t really drive home the difference like video. You just don’t get the comparison in a coin shop. I use the black gaskets. Probably will keep the 1/10 in them as I bought my first one in a direct fit. I appreciate the direct fit for the 1oz more, after this video. Thanks for what you do!

[@2is1gold]

It's surprising how much difference a capsule can make. Cheers!

[@standingonmountain3975]

South Korean gold comes in capsules that have a small indentation on the side. So easy to open.

[@2is1gold]

I’ve seen them. Don’t even need a fancy knife to get them open! 😁

[@polarroller]

I left the black ring Air Tights and went to the Direct Fit as well....they look so much nicer.

[@2is1gold]

They just let you see more of the coin. 🤩

[@homesteadaquarius]

This video finds me as I am looking for air tights for some of my things here and the gift coins I send out. I'm making things up as I go along. I still have not employed duct tape yet, so thats a good sign. BUT 3 Years makes a big difference on your channel! You have a new mic picking up your voice better AND There is NO WAY you are locking and unlocking your coins down for each video you make! 😂 You have them setting in a box with no shield, ready to go. The box is bolted down or secured to keep the cat from knocking them off. Keep up the good work. I am going to check those links.

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.

[@2is1gold]

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’m trying to do the same thing, not with gold (I wish). With silver proof quarters, eagles even dimes. You’re right, it just looks better. Gets a little costly but, if you can and it makes you feel better about your collection…. Do what makes you happy. What do you do with your old capsule?

I always can't afford to get gold whatsoever but here are something I can buy now!

[@_CYB0RG_]

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.

[@silverchickadee4130]

I very rarely buy capsules. If gold comes in a mint capsule, I leave it in the capsule. Fractionals go in mint tubes. I have mint tubes for 1 oz coins that don’t get issued in capsules, but currently have those in cardboard flips and 2x2 boxes. The space I need to store these would more than double, almost triple, if I moved it all to capsules and capsule tubes. Lol. Graham Stephen showing off gold.

[@ericcasagrande]

Thank you for sharing this video. I appreciate all the information you provided. I really like the black inner ring, as it really shows the brilliance of the gold coin by creating a strong contrast.

Ok: direct fit is for me even though there is sometime a bit « rich » with the black ring. But ...direct fit it will be .

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.

[@duaneurban4770]

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!

[@go4it129]

I have over 100 oz of a silver sovereign coins. ML, Phil’s, Britannias. ASE . They have been in airtight capsules since day one. Only have three one ounce Au coins. Maple Leafs and a Krug. Very true about .9999 gold coins Krugs are durable. Since gold hit $2.000, I’ve only been buying a 1/4 oz gold coin a month. I buy ONLY capsules with the black rings. Better protection in my opinion

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. .
