I'm putting my bullion in capsules. Longterm holder, I love handling and looking at all my coins. Protecting my bullion (investment) after paying $550 for 20 coins, a plastic capsule and air tite tube is a nominal payment to protect my investment. My opinion. Love your videos.
I agree. I bought a 2oz gothic arms proof in perfect condition. I was so excited I opened the capsule to hold the coin on the edge. I wasn't expecting the weight and dropped it on a hard wood floor. now my coin has a dent on the rim 😔
I am OCD, all of my silver and gold are in capsules...every bar, every round, every coin. I know its completely unnecessary BUT! I want to do my best to keep every piece nice and shiney and fingerprint free.And if my sizes are off by 1mm I have to find the right size capsule.
Haha, I am the opposite. I have a decorative pirates chest that I throw my silver in when it tarnishes and always have a coin rolling on my fingers when I am watching TV and such.
Exactly. Gold and silver is a big investment. Protect your investment in an air tight capsule or other capsule. Who wants beat up and tarnished metals when they didn't come that way?
The bullion coins can be encapsulated for on reason: to keep them visible for pleasure of the eye (like a collection coin) apart from those in tubes already stacked.
The 2018 Perth Mint Bar sells really well on the secondary market. They have become harder to get. As for capsuling coins or rounds, I think a major factor of if you decide to encapsule is who you're planning to sell too. If you plan to resell and get retail for your silver a capsule always helps in my opinion.
Dont forget when you walk into the perth mint, they sell you the bullion coins in a capsual already. Only bullion coins they sell not in a capsule iv noticed so far are the kangaroos which come in a plastic sleeve protector instead.

I’m old enough to remember my mother spending time on cleaning the tarnish off our silverware and tea ware. Used on a regular basis so it was high-maintenance. I’m also OCD, so between the two, I feel the capsules are the way to go. I also iron my clothes.
As a collector this is a NO NO. Cleaning will round off the squared edges. It leaves a coin with a permanent cleaned look that destroys the value of a coin.
Good tutorial video, I keep about 50 each 38 and 40 on hand and I keep them closed in labeled clear bags. keeping them closed keeps any possible the dust out till needed. I also keep my collectable notes in semi rigid top loaders then add them to 3 pocket currency sheets in my albums I made. I don't advise buying currency albums. Buy the clear 3 pocket currency holders then buy a few 3 ring binder's to put them in. I have more one's, twos, fives so their in a 3 inch binder where my tens, twenty's' fifty's and 100's are in a 1 inch binder. I didn't notice how old this video was till I stared typing.😀
I have a few silver eagles in capsules ones I got as a kid that are sentimental and a few that I bought that had beautiful rainbow toning but the gist of my stuff is just in mint tubes. Now on the other hand my gold is all in capsules but that's a softer alloy. Good video
Excellent vid! I learned a lot about capsules and since I just received my first order of silver, perfect timing! Tysm for this presentation, well done!
I haven’t been “stacking” long and until about 2:30 into the video I thought I had made a huge mistake by encapsulating some of my bullion coins. They’re only for me while I’m passing through the “Shadow of Death” so, when my kids/grandkids get them they can choose how to store their coins. I’m gonna hold on to this video. Thanks a lot my friend. 💯
Good video im not a sivler stacker myself only gold and you showed the difference between the capsules that the mint provides vs re encapsulateing your coins or rounds with the black ring foam i alway open up anything that comes in a capsule because i recived a 24k buffalo and when i opened it up there was damage around the outside because its 24k is alittle softer and whoever capped it put it in and snapped it closed and got the edge .so yeah those with the black foam are better .
I prefer air-tite the most... because I pretty much capsule them all and it takes up less space that way. Probably best to tell the viewers the sizes.... Basically anything Canadian will be 38mm Most generic and Perth Mint fits in 39mm Libertad, South Korean, and ASE uses 40mm (will actually be larger than 40 since ASE is 40.6) Rings are good for really odd sizes... or if you don't have the exact air-tite capsule size.
I found capsules that have precut outs on the black ring so each has like 6 so it will take eveything down to about the size of a dime all the way to the large dollar ones. Very handy with how interchanable they are.
almost a year ago I bought a 10 oz bar from Scottsdale Mint. The one they call the "Stacker". Didnt realize it is an oddball size....smaller but thicker and found out too late that NOBODY makes a capsule for it.

Thank you for another great video. You share great information for people who are like me and new to stacking. Keep doing what you are doing and have a great and blessed day.
Despite what you said, and as silly as it may be, I put all my bullion in airtite holders. The only exception being the ones in my album. I just feel that even though they’re bullion, maybe they’ll command a higher premium when I flip them in the future.
M88 S28 im glad you brought that point up! I’m hoping Silver Dragons touches on how slabbed SAE’s are a potential scam and how much they’re actually worth versus unslabbed SAE’s
@@jonathonbales9316 The only reason I air tite even my bullion coins is because my heart breaks each time I see a tiny scratch on a piece of masterfully built history. Slabbed "first editions" and "first strikes" are indeed a massive scam, anything bullion slabbed would be a scam unless you have something like semi numismatics where each year they come up with a different design, such as the panda or kookaburra. Those run into a few hundred thousand and an MS70 is worth slabbing for future appreciation. If you have a limited release coin that comes from a famous mint like the mexican mint does with their Libertad, they are definitely worth slabbing as well. Same goes for older numismatics such as the English Crown in excellent condition, and if you have junk silver with key dates, you might wanna hold off on cleaning it and having your local dealer examine if it's worth having it slabbed.

I have a question about capsules. Is it okay to store gold coins in one of those Ebay cheap capsules from China? Will they damage the coin in long term? I was thinking of upgrading to quality branded capsules like those of Lighthouse brand.
“As a hedge against inflation”. Lol. Everyone loves thinking that because they want to have a justification for buying all those coins. If you like them, buy them. No one can demonstrate for sure that it’ll work against inflation. A lot of the companies who keep saying that are the ones who want you to buy from them. They get richer but you get a feeling that “some day” you’ll either get rich or preserve your funds when the hypothetical “crash” happens. Yea. It “will” happen. But literally no one knows when. Could be in 20 years.
does anyone notice how direct fit capsules, dont always 100% close (like 95%?) where you press on the capsule you can the capsule closing more? it seals and holds perfectly, but....yeah its odd. maybe the coins too thick? anyone have this experience?
Ok I know this is old video I just started stacking gold and yes I put them in coin capsules But I was wondering after that will like a poker chip brief cases work to put in . Or a foam cut away type . To carry around ,storage etc What do you recommend
I usually put one coin in a capsule for that minting year, for that coin. the rest go into a tube. My gold eagles and maples will get capped, especially my gold maples, just looking at them gives them dings and scratches lol.
Thanks for the video. What I really needed to know but didn’t see it discussed is who sells the coins that are of good quality plastic. I bought a box of those ones that are sold everywhere and come in a cardboard box and their image has black background. When you close the two halves there are many micro cracks along the circumference where the two halves of the capsules lock. But when I receive coins from people which were already encapsulated their plastic quality was just better. I don’t know which to buy.
When I moved back in 2020 I thought I was done with stacking and threw all my unused capsules in the trash as I was in a hurry and needed to pack quick… now that prices are coming down and iv started stacking again iv looked at prices for capsules and I can’t believe how expensive they are 😂 can’t believe I did that
I have different mintings of Buffalo and prospectors, from buying generic rounds. Just for the collection I do put one of each in a cap. At some point all the others may get melted down. I have found leaving the ring in the cap and adding the coin is easiest way to not touch the face of the coin / round.
do you buy a capsule for every coin or buy a whole lot of them at once? im not sure where to find any capsules, because they come in different sizes and they're quite expensive on amazon
You put bullion in capsules to protect them from tarnish, bullion that is ugly from tarnish will sell much lower later on. You can also buy a vacuum sealer and seal bars and coins airtight if you need to.
I like to encapsulate my uniques or "1 of each", then the rest i ll just stack and leave loose. I do it as collect a little but stacking is the name of the game. I also go by how SD has said, buy something fun and different now and then

Should the size of the capsules(inner diameter) be excatly as big as the coin or a little bigger to fit perfectly? I dont want my coins to jump around. Thanks, great vid!
I was lucky to find a guy that is selling e.g. the 40.6mm direct fit airtight capsules for 43c so I'm putting most coins in capsules, obviously not if they come in tubes. Most other places I can find in South Africa are sold for a crazy USD1,79.
If you warm the silver up and put it in the Capsule the as the coin cools it will suck the capsule shut and removes more air. I always put 1 bullion coin in a capsule as I love to look at the different one I have, for my entertainment only.
Ive bought 38mm capsules for silver maple leaves. But they all have a small damage spot. The seller told me this is normal and part of the production process. Is this true? Or are they normally perfect?
Do you have any recommendations about 50mm coins? The coin I want to encapsulate doesn't specify inside outside and height measurements just 50mm. Also any recommendations on the best 50 mm capsule for a important coin? Thank you, I am subscribing and great video!
If you see plastic casings as a premium just think about all the food, water, filming equipment, electricity, housing, transportation costs that go into obtaining coins, storing coins, and just being alive to do so. Now that’s a premium
If you're going to keep any silver long term you want to protect it... also, selling to a private seller, you think you'll get your full ask price if they are crazy toned? I dont
I’ve asked 3 times concerning where to buy these capsules that fit coins that are 3.17mm thick and 32.1 and 40.6 mm diameter! I’ve never gotten an and Swer
Can you tell us which capsules are compatible with which coins? For example, I bought a bunch of sovereign silver, will ASE capsules fit Maple Leafs, will Libertad capsules work for Philharmonics and so on. I've had trouble finding capsules that fit even very popular coins. Also, what brands are quality and not? Why do Panda capsules become convex? Are the ring ones where you can pick the size for the coin any good? Is Amazon the best place to buy capsules? I think there is quite a bit you can add to this video.
zunedog31 yeah go for air-tights 👍🏽 I agree I didn’t put EVERYTHING in the video but that would have made it an hour long 😂 I buy all mine from amazon. go with 38 and 40mm ones. Phil’s are 36 I believe 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 It can be confusing even looking at the air tites site for someone new to metals. I had some Canadian wildlife coins and i ordered the ones they recommended on their site but when i went to put the coins in they were too tight....So tight that you would have to press them in then if you ever needed to get them out you would have to pry them out with a metal pick...NOT GOOD. And they acted like they had never ever had that problem but they did exchange them for me for ones with foam rings. The capsules that Chinese coins come in are domed shaped and are considered premium but i dont like them because they are too easy to drop...And i have accidentally dropped a few of the older more expensive pandas and cracked the capsules. That sucks.
I'm with you brother Silver dragon, I Also like the black ring around the silver and gold it just brings out the coins . Thanks for the video buddy.....
You answered my question 1:45min into the video. All i really want right now is a pile of bullion so no need to get capsules. I do have a question though.... some gold bullion comes in sealed / vacuumed package (maple leaf) ... i just started stacking and never had pms in my hands before so i opened to feel and hold. Is that bad? All my bullion is 2020...for now. Rcm shields and what not. In your opinion is it ok to handle my bullion coins and not risk devaluing since theyre not proofs or collectables? I literally just want to hold handfuls of gold and silver but not at a loss. Lol
I have 2 -10oz bars that are a little longer and a little shorter in width. I can not seem to find capsules for them at all! Do you have any recommendations? I am thinking of at least getting some sleeves to put them into. Not as good as airtites but at least it is something. Thoughts??
That extra dollar or so is worth it to me too keep my bullion nice and shiny looking, free of tarnish or fingerprints. I keep all of mine in a capsule or vinyl sleeve. I don’t collect actual coins so I’m not concerned with toning. And I’m not a fan of it either. I like the mirror finish. It’s all personal preference I suppose! But with actual coins I can see you’re point, bullion not so much. And milk spots are entirely different, that isn’t a type of toning, it’s left over detergent or borax from the mint. Doesn’t look good, you can use a white eraser to remove it really easily, red erasers are to abrasive, use a towel to remove the black off the eraser every so often. Would only do it to bullion though as it does slight buff the surface, looks way better though. Baking soda bath won’t work for milk spots well
I feel like my capsules are damaging my investment. I have no idea what I’m doing I thought they would protect them. But the reflective ones are showing damage. Through time I notice spots coming up. They’ve been dry. Just my luck
An observation: For further protection, I always place my better coins on a soft cloth and not on a hard surface as I am quite clumsy and tend to drop things. BTW I'm expecting a beautiful Reverse Rainbow Bi-Centennial 50c piece and I was advised encapsulate it, so your video is most timely-txs I also got 2x2 archival paper envelopes for my rainbow pennies.
Considering that my average price per oz is 17.00-17.50 an extra .40-.50 cents per piece is worth it. I dont even stack silver that has scratches. It looks good and clean plus this is long term so I'll get my money back even if I drop them @ 25.00.
I'm putting my bullion in capsules. Longterm holder, I love handling and looking at all my coins. Protecting my bullion (investment) after paying $550 for 20 coins, a plastic capsule and air tite tube is a nominal payment to protect my investment. My opinion. Love your videos.
I do the same thing. Everything goes in a capsule.

Golden State Native what the heck
The bullion coins can be encapsulated for on reason: to keep them visible for pleasure of the eye (like a collection coin) apart from those in tubes already stacked.
I use my food saver vacuum bag machine to vacuum pack all of my coins, rounds, and bars. Works great
I use that for the kilo bars, since no one makes capsules that big.
That's a great idea, that's what I'm planning on doing
do the bags contain pvc as I heard this can cause damage.
The 2018 Perth Mint Bar sells really well on the secondary market. They have become harder to get.

Hey Mike T. It's Mike T. Good choice on the first name and last initial.
I prefer air-tite the most... because I pretty much capsule them all and it takes up less space that way.
Probably best to tell the viewers the sizes....
Basically anything Canadian will be 38mm
Most generic and Perth Mint fits in 39mm
Libertad, South Korean, and ASE uses 40mm (will actually be larger than 40 since ASE is 40.6)

When I moved back in 2020 I thought I was done with stacking and threw all my unused capsules in the trash as I was in a hurry and needed to pack quick… now that prices are coming down and iv started stacking again iv looked at prices for capsules and I can’t believe how expensive they are 😂 can’t believe I did that
Very helpful video. Is there any way to clean hand oils off coins? I made the mistake of putting mine in capsuls with my bare hands.
I have different mintings of Buffalo and prospectors, from buying generic rounds. Just for the collection I do put one of each in a cap. At some point all the others may get melted down. I have found leaving the ring in the cap and adding the coin is easiest way to not touch the face of the coin / round.
Sterling Cannabis yeah once it’s capsuled it’s off limits! I do the same 😂🔥🐉
Great video. 👍
Also one little note. Any plastic with PVC can damage silver
Metal Bum great point my friend thanks for adding that! 👍🏽🔥🐉
Is this the best way to protect them from pvc ?
Thank you for your informative videos!!
I encapsulate almost all, but I have no intent in providing those when I sell them unless the buyer wants to pay for the capsule as well.
Nice it's good to have storage play safety information videos
do you buy a capsule for every coin or buy a whole lot of them at once? im not sure where to find any capsules, because they come in different sizes and they're quite expensive on amazon
Wow really awesome Silver Gold video!!! :D
OcOmega Shadow thanks for watching my friend! I emailed you about the bar you ordered 👍🏽🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 ok😄
You put bullion in capsules to protect them from tarnish, bullion that is ugly from tarnish will sell much lower later on.
You can also buy a vacuum sealer and seal bars and coins airtight if you need to.
I like to encapsulate my uniques or "1 of each", then the rest i ll just stack and leave loose. I do it as collect a little but stacking is the name of the game. I also go by how SD has said, buy something fun and different now and then
Are the capsules re-usuable?
Yes unless you accidentally crack it.Shouldn't be a problem.
How do you feel about spraying rounds with NeverWet? :) wonder if it would prevent them from turning brown.
I keep all mine in capsules as well. .
Thanks for this video, its very detailed Having got involved in the stock market and made little profits, i still greatly believe in bitcoin trading mostly as the market is very bullish at this point in time. I strongly advice us to get involved in DAY TRADING properly guided by a pro traded with a working strategy/daily signals. For me it's been very successful because i was being guided by a pro trader called Mr. Richard whose strategy/daily signals has proven to be so accurate and well analyzed. Trading and growing my portfolio from 0.9btc to 5.8btc within 4 weeks is so awesome and credible. Don't you think this is the right time to grow the little we hold ahead of more bullishness ? Mr. Richard can be reach via Instar (@richard_brucefx) for inquiries into profitable trading systems
I like to encapsulate my Canadian Maples since I believe it helps preserve the security features ;-)
I picked up 175 oz of 2021 various sovereign coins in tubes, they ALL are going in capsules.
i have all kinds of 1oz bullion copper brass titanium very differint sizes what do you recommend for capsules in this case
Should the size of the capsules(inner diameter) be excatly as big as the coin or a little bigger to fit perfectly? I dont want my coins to jump around. Thanks, great vid!
I was lucky to find a guy that is selling e.g. the 40.6mm direct fit airtight capsules for 43c so I'm putting most coins in capsules, obviously not if they come in tubes. Most other places I can find in South Africa are sold for a crazy USD1,79.
If you warm the silver up and put it in the Capsule the as the coin cools it will suck the capsule shut and removes more air. I always put 1 bullion coin in a capsule as I love to look at the different one I have, for my entertainment only.
sctpc great way to do it my friend! do you just use the microwave? 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 no, oven on 50c for 10 min. I started it to remove any moisture as nth QLD Australia is 90% humidity.
Silver Dragons metals in the microwave? 🤣🤣
How do you remove coin from the capsule?
Ive bought 38mm capsules for silver maple leaves. But they all have a small damage spot. The seller told me this is normal and part of the production process. Is this true? Or are they normally perfect?
Do you have any recommendations about 50mm coins? The coin I want to encapsulate doesn't specify inside outside and height measurements just 50mm. Also any recommendations on the best 50 mm capsule for a important coin? Thank you, I am subscribing and great video!
Where do u get ur gloves?
Hey silver, great show on capsules! Have all kind of shape items.
If you see plastic casings as a premium just think about all the food, water, filming equipment, electricity, housing, transportation costs that go into obtaining coins, storing coins, and just being alive to do so. Now that’s a premium
Great video! Do you use capsules for items like the Rwanda Lunar Year series or leave them in the sealed mint pack?
Chuck Kessler leave them in the mint pack for sure unless they are for your personal collection then capsule away! 👍🏽🔥🐉
Great tips, my friend.👍
I liked that lion king coin alot too. Lol..
Paranoid Philosopher yeah I had to get the coin 😂👍🏽🔥🐉
What size is the Mexican libertad 1 ounce silver.
Does it matter if there is any dust in the capsule? Can that ruin the coin in any way?
Have you ever seen silver eagles tone while inside air tire capsules?
If you're going to keep any silver long term you want to protect it... also, selling to a private seller, you think you'll get your full ask price if they are crazy toned? I dont
I’ve asked 3 times concerning where to buy these capsules that fit coins that are 3.17mm thick and 32.1 and 40.6 mm diameter! I’ve never gotten an and
Swer
Can you tell us which capsules are compatible with which coins? For example, I bought a bunch of sovereign silver, will ASE capsules fit Maple Leafs, will Libertad capsules work for Philharmonics and so on. I've had trouble finding capsules that fit even very popular coins. Also, what brands are quality and not? Why do Panda capsules become convex? Are the ring ones where you can pick the size for the coin any good? Is Amazon the best place to buy capsules? I think there is quite a bit you can add to this video.
Look on air-tites.com and you can call them with any questions. They were very helpful to me.
zunedog31 yeah go for air-tights 👍🏽 I agree I didn’t put EVERYTHING in the video but that would have made it an hour long 😂 I buy all mine from amazon. go with 38 and 40mm ones. Phil’s are 36 I believe 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 It can be confusing even looking at the air tites site for someone new to metals. I had some Canadian wildlife coins and i ordered the ones they recommended on their site but when i went to put the coins in they were too tight....So tight that you would have to press them in then if you ever needed to get them out you would have to pry them out with a metal pick...NOT GOOD. And they acted like they had never ever had that problem but they did exchange them for me for ones with foam rings.
The capsules that Chinese coins come in are domed shaped and are considered premium but i dont like them because they are too easy to drop...And i have accidentally dropped a few of the older more expensive pandas and cracked the capsules. That sucks.
Pvc capsules cause green goo (vinyl chloride) to form on coins. Make sure the capsules are safe for coins like ones made from clear polystyrene (PS)
I’d like to have a collection of 2020 coins, unique generics and gold I stack through the coming years will all be in capsules.
I'm with you brother Silver dragon, I Also like the black ring around the silver and gold it just brings out the coins . Thanks for the video buddy.....
Billy Gagne yeah that black ring just makes the metal POP for sure! you got it my friend! 🔥🐉
You answered my question 1:45min into the video. All i really want right now is a pile of bullion so no need to get capsules. I do have a question though.... some gold bullion comes in sealed / vacuumed package (maple leaf) ... i just started stacking and never had pms in my hands before so i opened to feel and hold. Is that bad? All my bullion is 2020...for now. Rcm shields and what not. In your opinion is it ok to handle my bullion coins and not risk devaluing since theyre not proofs or collectables? I literally just want to hold handfuls of gold and silver but not at a loss. Lol
I have 2 -10oz bars that are a little longer and a little shorter in width. I can not seem to find capsules for them at all! Do you have any recommendations? I am thinking of at least getting some sleeves to put them into. Not as good as airtites but at least it is something. Thoughts??
That extra dollar or so is worth it to me too keep my bullion nice and shiny looking, free of tarnish or fingerprints. I keep all of mine in a capsule or vinyl sleeve. I don’t collect actual coins so I’m not concerned with toning. And I’m not a fan of it either. I like the mirror finish. It’s all personal preference I suppose! But with actual coins I can see you’re point, bullion not so much. And milk spots are entirely different, that isn’t a type of toning, it’s left over detergent or borax from the mint. Doesn’t look good, you can use a white eraser to remove it really easily, red erasers are to abrasive, use a towel to remove the black off the eraser every so often. Would only do it to bullion though as it does slight buff the surface, looks way better though. Baking soda bath won’t work for milk spots well
haha Isn't that easy? Thank you the shout out..
Silver Wolverine lol so easy 😁 you got it my friend! 🔥🐉
38mm for 1oz silver Britannia’s?
Silver rounds are for me to play with
I encapsulate a single of each, like the perfect specimen of each. The repeat bullion just gets tubed.
I bought a gold coin from an online dealer and it came with a smudge on it. What do you suggest I do?
Does the foam ring deteriorate over time ?
I feel like my capsules are damaging my investment. I have no idea what I’m doing I thought they would protect them. But the reflective ones are showing damage. Through time I notice spots coming up. They’ve been dry. Just my luck
An observation: For further protection, I always place my better coins on a soft cloth and not on a hard surface as I am quite clumsy and tend to drop things. BTW I'm expecting a beautiful Reverse Rainbow Bi-Centennial 50c piece and I was advised encapsulate it, so your video is most timely-txs I also got 2x2 archival paper envelopes for my rainbow pennies.
Frank Hodges great point! just be careful the cloth doesn’t leave scratches 🔥🐉
Thanks SD, this video helps a lot.
Moon Dogg awesome i’m glad I could help!!!! 😁🔥🐉
Where do you get your black gloves?
What size capsule with the black foam fit maple leafs correctly?
That silver dragon was gorgeous!!
Jeanne Miller thanks I love those coins!!! 🔥🐉
Good info on silver capsules
Good video Silver Dragons 🐉 Thanks 🙏🏾. 👍
V Yes its me you got it my friend thanks for watching!!! 🔥🐉
Considering that my average price per oz is 17.00-17.50 an extra .40-.50 cents per piece is worth it. I dont even stack silver that has scratches. It looks good and clean plus this is long term so I'll get my money back even if I drop them @ 25.00.
Hi. Do you know where to find 10mm capsules?
