Thanks.

I found the RM page:

https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/ranges/historic-coins/ancillaries/Coin-Capsule-22mm-Pack-of-10/

but they are not the screw top ones.

They are not unreasonable at £3.95 per pack of 10.

I also found the so-called London Coin Companies capsules page meanwhile.

What at total rip-off! And they are not £16 each, but £16.95 each!

It might be a mitigating factor of this included free postage, but they also indicate £3.99 postage.

LCC is owned by Ingram Liberman, who only ever seems to sell anything which is a rip-off price.

At least he has stopped using our copyright images, since:

When I met him, he was totally unapologetic, and said everybody does it.

I do not have a high opinion of him, as you might guess!

They are not a company I would likely deal with, even before your information.

However, they did come high up on a Google search for what I was looking for, so I'm sure they will do well... 🙄

Sure, Google is not always your friend!

A little more investigation...

I found some Lighthouse 'Grips 22' capsules lying around, and they do indeed fit, but not perfectly.  Looking at the side of the capsules, they have 22.2 written on them.  These are better than the 22.5 I had, but still enough to rattle.  That said, they are about twice as thick/high as they need to be, so most of the rattling is actually up and down rather than side to side.

I think unless someone like Lighthouse produce a 'perfect fit' capsule for Sovereigns (which they should - they do a great one for QBs), I am stuck with foam rings.
