    None yet. I'm going into town to buy a few tubes next week. I have the PM 1 oz. kookaburra in mind as it seems scarce compared to the roo. But I'm open to suggestions if there is a better 1 0z. coin to invest in for a 2-3 period. This will be my first venture into the world of silver coins so tips are welcome.
    Here is one the shops I'll visit. Do you see any 1oz. silver coins bargains for me?

    Would 50 cents be a waste? Brought 250 on eBay thinking that it would make resale easier if they were mint condition ?

    If your 250 coins was rattling around in a bag than unlikely any would be mint.

    I suggest you just buy some archival paper and roll them into a block, store them in Tupperware with silica gel.

    I guess many would buy this. Vvv
    Vitamins good for Man & the Tube good for yours coins. :p
    The Tube are good for 1/2 & 1 oz Kooks & Koalas. 1 oz Fit & sealed well ( Airtite capsules no problem )
    Hold about 10 X coins or half roll.
    Any half tube fill the void with tissue paper, stop the rattling.

    Currently in sealed tubes just thought they would be easier to sell individually in capsules. When the time comes I will work out if I sell the tubes or individual.

    Tubes of what? many people buy capsules even for their 1oz bars. crocks kangas and FWS would be expected in caps if sold individually, this my opinion only as I cap every coin and round I purchase.

    Sorry I read your "50 cents" as round 50 cent coins.

    I think there may be a difference between the ultra cheap capsules on ebay and the likes of Airtight" or perth mint used capsules?

    The wrong type of material (some plastics) may cause more toning or even damage to the coins than if left without capsules.

    Chip may know more about this as he sells coin capsules.

    They are good airtite capsules.
    One thing about these capsules, they don't have raised circumference. Compare to Perth capsules.
    So can be easily scratched when leave on their flat surfaces.

    Will try to remember to let you know when they finally land and have some time with a coin in it.
