Tube that holds 10 Silver Eagle coins?

I plan to gift 10 American Silver Eagles (ASEs) to two nephews. Ten coins to each nephew. Is anyone aware of a coin tube that holds only 10 ASEs?

I know I can use a tube that holds 20 coins, and then stuff it with tissue so that the coins don't rattle around. But then it seems like the gift is a half-empty tube. I'd rather gift a full tube of 10 ASE's if such a tube exists.

    I'm not questioning your gift or your approach, just pointing out that loose SEs in a tube will likely get handled, scratched, tarnished, etc.

    Some people don't care, but many people do. Since the market for scruffy SEs is presumably smaller than the market for pristine ones, the scruffy ones will probably bring less when selling.

    Have you tried a local coin shop. Buying on-line and paying for shipping could be almost as much or more than the cost of the storage tube. Buy locally and save the money/
