Air tight capsules, are they worth it?

What would be the recommended air tite coin capsule size for 1/4 oz Queen beasts and full sovs? And places to get a few (say 10) in the UK?

You can mess about with eBay and elsewhere to buy capsules, but this guy stocks all the capsules you'll ever need, he's helpful and ships them out next day delivery 99% of the time.

Hope this helps.

Yup, agree. Just ordered my 1 oz bar capsules from Andy, cheapest around.

Just be aware that the capsules from Coin Gallery are Light House and it’s only the rings that are Air-tite.

I love them. I buy them in bulk and put all coins or rounds I intend to keep in them.

I will send 1 H40,6 DF for free to all that want to test the quality

Do the A18 DF fit a half sovereign or only the A19?

[Agpanda]

Only A19 with black ring will fit

I suppose no one has tried. I have fitted comfortably 1/10 Pt Britannias and 1/10 Au maples into A16 DF, the first not listed, the second not compatible. 

I wonder if older circulation issues do fit while modern bullion half sovereigns might not.

1/2 Sovs definitely don't fit into DF19.  I've tried.  The extra .3mm is just too much.
