At RightCapsule we recommend a
[[MM_TIGHT]] mm direct-fit capsule for most 2 Euro Coin.
If you prefer easier closing or have high-rim proofs, use [[MM_LOOSE]] mm or a ring capsule with [[MM_TIGHT]] mm inner.

Notes & best practices

  • Circulation strikes usually fit [[MM_TIGHT]]mm direct-fit perfectly.
  • For proofs/high rims or if you prefer easier closing, choose [[MM_LOOSE]]mm or a ring capsule ([[MM_TIGHT]]mm inner).
  • Handle coins with cotton/nitrile gloves; avoid moisture and dust inside the capsule.

FAQs

What capsule size is best for 2 Euro Coin?

Most pieces fit [[MM_TIGHT]]mm direct-fit. For looser insertion or high-rim proofs, use [[MM_LOOSE]]mm or a ring capsule with [[MM_TIGHT]]mm inner.

Are ring capsules better?

They absorb tolerances and protect rims; the trade-off is a slightly less “crystal-clear” look than direct-fit.

Will the larger size be too loose?

It leaves slight play. For a flush display fit, go [[MM_TIGHT]]mm.

Quadrum or round capsule?

Quadrum ([[MM_TIGHT]]mm insert) offers square format and easy labeling; round capsules give the classic display look.
