Generic Silver Purchase

[Lustifer]

Hi Everyone,

I did a generic 5oz. silver bar purchase and received some Mint ID bars. I cannot find capsules for these. Any idea where to get some or if they even make this size capsules?

Thank you in advance.

5oz Silver MintID Bar .999+

Metal Content	5 troy ounces
Thickness	6.5mm
Dimensions	64.7mm x 36.8mm

Sounds strange but i think there is an app for mint id then you scan then. Might give you some info!

I just googled 5 oz silver bar capsule, and came up with a few hits on Amazon and specialty online stores. I think one problem might be the length of the bar, which seems non-standard. Most 5 oz bars are around 61 - 62 mm long (or tall, depending on your perspective).

5 oz bars are less common than 1 and 10 oz bars, so there tend to be fewer options for capsules. It would be so cool if mints would agree to an industry standard for the precise dimensions of each size bar. That way there would be one standard capsule size for each.

The Coin Supply Store has 5 oz capsules, but these ones seem too short for your bar. I assume they have others though:

Air-Tites makes vinyl bar sleeves, which offer some protection.
