Keyword added for pumping purposes. Dont get them mixed up with other less-worthy horsey coins that shall saturate the market for the next year and a bit.
Just opened my box of air tite tubes, and although you could squeeze 20 in, I don't like it as the top doesn't go down enough imo when there are 20 coins inside. I would say these tubes fit 18 coins in. Is a shame as 20 would have been a nice round number. Now I have to work in multiples of 18.
Some countries (USA I believe) uses number 12 (dozen) a lot. So you have a dozen and a half of coins. Eggs here can be packed in boxes of 12 or 6.
I'm not stacking eggs Stark, lol. 20 would have just been a nice number, 5 tubes make 100. But 18 doesn't add up to any nice number.
Yep, I heard a place called the Perth Mint makes them They're a little on the expensive side for coin tubes, but they do come with a bonus 12.5oz of silver - see the discussion here: http://forums.silverstackers.com/topic-41976-what-s-in-the-box-page-1.html
12 is nice number too, you just don't realize! 12 is supposed the be the "perfect" number. EU has 12 stars because they symbolise perfection and peace. They aren't currently shinning as brightly as they did in the past. For me is much worse thinking in ozs. 1 oz is around 31,1g. Now that is worse number for making any calculations. They you have 15g coins, 25g, whic is how many ozs... Much would be easier if would has one system.
You can use original tray for them. Hold 100 capsules. Excellent for all 1 ozs if you can get hold of S2 Lunar tray.
Yea those boxes that they come in would be perfect. But I would have to order 100 coins at a time to get the free box. Someone is selling one here, ridiculous price!: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Perth-Min...87?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item19de9d282b
Make sure it is S2 Lunar box. Kook tray cannot put lunar capsules. The lunar tray can use for kooks & Lunars. I have a few. Give one to a member here in the forum cos he is good to me.

Monster box of Silver maple leafs i believe , says SML and Ottawa on the box plus looks like the RCM logo on the lids of the tubes.
That is a Monster Box for CMLs (Canadian Maple Leaf). Each box houses 20 tubes, each tubes contain 25 pieces of 1oz CMLs. A Monster Box houses 500oz of silver in it.
Yeah, I believe bost poster are correct. chrissilver, I just want to show you proper boxes for beloved Stock Horses. Maybe you can sell tubes with higher premium on feeBay: "Dear ladies and gents, here is tube which was made for holding 20 coins, but only 18 get into it." Things with mistakes sell better.
