Hi everyone, recently got myself a 1797 Cartwheel 2d. Love it, but it's such a heafty coin I can't find a capsule to put it in. Any suggestions?
Put them in 2x2 card. or if you like a suitable capsule, take them to a coins shop, they probably will have the right one for you.
Thanks Chip , but this coin is BIG and THICK .. around 9mm thick. I haven't been able to find a 2x2 that is big enough, plus I'm worried if a 2x2 would even be enough protection from rim knocks and such, this being quite a heavy chunk of a coin. Great Britain 1797 Cartwheel - Two Pence King George III Description: Weight: 56.5 grams Diameter: 41 mm Composition: Copper A capsule would be great, but I don't know if they do one big enough.
Best I could do was an airtite Y65 capsule (ID 65mm) with a Y47mm foam insert, and then a X43 foam insert inside of that (or X40 if you want the coin very snug). You might have to very slightly shave the outside of the X43 foam ring for a good fit.
