Coin holder for larger darkside coins....???????

Neptune

I just bought my first darksider - a '79 Barbados Neptune, and I am not sure what type of holder to put it in. It is currently in one of those tiny paper envelopes, and altho I LOVE toned coins - this one is such a nice and shiny proof, that I thought I may want to keep it like that. Do they sell the larger size holders for darkside coins, and how do I tell which one to use if they measure in metric? I tried 3 different larger holders that I have for Morgans, Eagles, etc. and all are too small!Thanks in advance for your help.

What's the diameter of the coin? Air-tite makes large holders.

It may still fit in a PCGS slab if you want to send it to them.

I believe that one's about 42 millimeters. A U.S. silver dollar is 38.

Air-Tites or a 2 1/2 x 2 1/2

(Should be 42 mm. 42 cm would be just over 16 1/2 inches. BIG HOLDER!!!)

Sounds like you need an airtite or a crown sized "2X2". (crown size 2X2's are 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 inches.)

Another option would be to sell that coin and buy a proof set with the coin in it, They are running $20-25 I think, Then it will be in it's original plastic and board. It 's a beautiful coin.

Looks like a Model I 42mm air tite will do the job LINK
