They hold 5 coins and are in a plastic holder that snaps open...

    Just a guess: Tom Thumb?

    Pic is way too small to see but Whitman once made something like that.

    I tried my loupe on that photo - didn't help.

    When I was a kid ('60s and '70s) those were popular. Usually contained coins from 1900 to 1940's in no better than Fine condition. Could the photo possibly be any smaller?

    Not a capital. Haven't seen that, but I would guess it is not airtight.

    I call them snap-lock mint set holders

    Just guessing but it looks to be about 2” x 3”. If so these holders are close, http://edgarmarcus.com. Don’t know if they can do custom inserts.
