I bought some 2017 Netherlands lion silver BU restrikes the other day and thought they would come on capsules but only came in flips. Anyone know what size of airtite capsules?  H39?

@ilovesilverireallydo I have some of these lions on order too. Didn't order any capsules as i have 39mm's, because i read on a couple of dealer sites they were 39mm. Are they really 37? Dang...

Hmmm you may be right. 

Apmex has them at : 

Thickness: 2.75 mm
Diameter: 38.68 mm

Atkinsons: 

Thickness: 3.2mm
Diameter: 37.00mm.

Silver Trader UK 
Dimensions: 37 mm x 3.2mm

Silver Gold Bull: 
Diameter (mm)    38.70
Average Thickness (mm)    3.20

Numista: 
Diameter    38.7 mm


In summary - I am confused. I dont actually have one of these,  but looks like the UK sites are quoting smaller diameter and thicker coins, while the US sites are quoting a larger diameter.

More than one dealer showing 37mm makes me wonder, too. It's possible the dealers saying 39mm had only assumed it was as standard.

Found this Dutch collector on youtube comparing the proof and Bu together. He seems sure the only way to tell them apart is the weight and composition which appears on the Bu but not on the proof. So i checked out the COA of the proof version and it is 38.7mm.

 

Looking at it in this video i'm really glad i got some of these. Gorgeous.
