FAQs
What capsule size is best for American Silver Eagle?
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.
