Coin tube question.

[Ukbullionfan]

Where you see all sorts of coin tubes in the accessories section of different dealer sites does this mean they can hold the amount of coins they say with the capsules on too ? 
 

i haven’t purchased on before but was thinking surely people wouldn’t stack the coins in tubes with out the capsules as they could clang against each other causing some marks etc ?

 

maybe it’s a pointless question I’m asking but just wanted some clarification.

I have to ask how many coins do you get in them, which is the inverse of the usual question around here.

Most tubes were for "shot" or loose coins. I have yet to see any for capsules, but you do have a fair point.

The weather in Blackpool must have been good on the day they shot this video.

Usually naked coins without capsules. 

[Ukbullionfan]

So I take it that no one that reads this forum has a tube for sovereign coin that are in their capsules then ? 

[Roy]

Nope, I don't.

They are out there. The typical sov capsules are about 30mm outer diameter (the push together type not the threaded screw together type) so you could get a 30mm tube to out capsulated sovs in. I've done this for shields and a few special years but mostly just naked bullion sovs in the tubes

Bullion coins yes. I'm not taking tubes of coins and going jogging they are in the tube and in a vault, unless in an earthquake they're not moving around a great deal

 

Proof coins tend to be encapsulated in special boxes. Don't remove those and put in tubes unless you want to potentially lose any premium

There are tubes for coins in capsules. I'm surprised no one has suggested them yet. "Air tite" they are called.

Here you have got a table - which size you need depends on whether you have Royal Mint capsules or Air tite capsules with rings.

Sorry to resurrect this . But wouldn’t plastic be a bad idea ? I think a user posted a tube of alkazelzer and stored his sovereign in there . Wouldn’t the plastic react badly with the sovs ?

The sovereigns are in capsules then placed in tube.

[Ukbullionfan]

What about if they are not in capsules?

[Ukbullionfan]

Something like this without capsules lol

I'd just use a proper sovereign tube or even a tube for ( 1/4oz silver brits) as they are the same size.

That didn’t answer my question though lol . Something similar to what I posted would that damage the coin with the potential plastic chemicals ? Lol

No idea as I'm not really into storing high value gold in smartie tubes😂😂

Very possible that a reaction could happen, in doubt then leave it out!

They’re plastic aren’t they? Just as likely to cause damage as any other plastic container if not in a capsule? Slightly different, but I put cotton wool in the end of a toilet roll, taped it over and put my silver Britannias in. Worked perfectly.

So the chemicals would be a problem then ?
