I occasionally buy silver coins and rounds in bulk less as an investment and more because I want to appreciate their designs. I’ve found that I can never have enough holders on hand to display them, so I was initially excited to find these with included gaskets that can be adjusted to fit many different sizes, but honestly I’ve been disappointed.The good thing is that the cases seem to fit together snugly and have a small divot on one side for easier opening. I could pop the two halves apart with my fingers, which can’t be said of some cases that require a thin blade to open them. I was a bit concerned with the aesthetics of this, but it’s not all that noticeable. The not-so-good thing is that there are rough manufacturing imperfections in the plastic on the outside of the case, and the included foam gaskets are flimsy and difficult to work with, nor do they seem to fit well.I tried these with both U.S. and Canadian coinage, and in only one case — a $2 Toonie — was I able to achieve a snug fit. The quarters merely rattled around inside the case, and you can see daylight through the gap when held up to the light. The gaskets are printed from thin EVA craft foam sheets like you might find at your local hobby store. The seven concentric circles are reminiscent of the rings of Saturn and are so thin at some points that you need to be careful not to tear them while separating them, and at that narrow a size become easily distorted when you try to fit them around a coin’s outer rim. Nor do all those perforations look good in the case when used with smaller coins.I think these would probably fit an American Eagle without any gasket. Some European bouillon coins, which tend to be smaller, might work with a thin gasket, but it would have to be very thin and of little use at that point with these small cases. If you just want an inexpensive way to protect your coins from being exposed to oxidation and to present them in something other than a plastic sleeve, these might be a way to go, but in my opinion there are better options. If you are so inclined and have a correctly sized die punch or machine capable of cutting EVA foam (think Cricut), you could just buy foam sheets and make the gaskets yourself, problem solved.

I know is labeled for coins, but these neat little containers will come in handy for all kinds of collectables - and that includes my granddaughter's various gifts of leaves and pebbles ;-) I also plan to use them for my small resin pendants and my hubby is ogling them for his gold nuggets.They snap closed and stay closed while still relatively easy to open with a small indent where your fingernail can grab onto.Clear cover, slim profile and adjustable inserts.Can't beat the price - great value!
