Coin capsule dilemma

Hi all

I ordered a variety of bullion coins. They arrived in capsules. All good until I started putting them into my Airtite tube. All coins fit except my Kangaroo. The tube has an inner diameter of 46mm. Despite the Kookaburra and Kangaroo both being 41mm, the Kook is in a 45mm capsule and the Kangaroo is in a 47mm outer diameter capsule.

Any idea where I can get more 41 inner and 45 outer capsules? All I seem to find are the usual ebay brands (such as Lighthouse, Lindner, Schulz) which are 41/47.

Hello @ArcaneCollector . I had a quick google search with the terms: "coin capsule 41 mm inner and 45 mm outer", and one came up. It's Frimoony and the one I found is shown as being on Amazon, but they may be available elsewhere. There was a diagram showing the internal and external measurements, so have a look and see if it's what you're after.

Thanks @The Cat's Mother. I found that same product last night, but branded Muroad. Gotta love these daft names Chinese people come up with! That set may be my best option. It says no PVC, hope they are not lying!

You should be absolutely fine with cheap non-PVC capsules (as long as they seal well etc).

Which Roo are you talking about bud, Royal Australia Mint (RAM) or Perth? If it's RAM I'd probably keep it in its original capsule (some buyers want the original cap), whereas Perth Roos are more basic bullion so don't matter so much.

It’s a rare Zimbabwean Roo. The seller said they only minted 1000 of them, so I was pleased to only pay £500 on eBay. Bargain! Im getting good at this coin collecting .

Blimey that is a rare find indeed! Are you interested in any mules? I have an incredibly rare American Silver Eagle obverse/Britannia reverse from our friends in the a Chinese mint backroom operation. It's 9999 silver metal alloy of some description and I'm offering it at a once in a lifetime price of £1000 (I will even include post!). And I'm cutting my own throat at that!

CMOT Kimchi - how many do you have? I don't have many Zimbabwean silverish coins. I did see an incredibly well-priced Scooby Roo the other day, but I thought about it for too long and missed out.

@kimchi Do you also sell sausages? Wow! I need that coin in my life! Going back a question, it’s a bog standard Perth bullion. Can’t say that I like the design. All those radial sun lines make it too busy for me. By contrast, the Kook is clean and stunning. I love the Krugerrand’s colour, the Maple leaf’s texture (but it has the worst Queen), the Britannia’s tech and the Koala’s cuteness. Combine those and you have the perfect bullion coin. And I am underwhelmed by the Philharmonic! Next on my list is perhaps a turtle or a Noah’s Ark.

@The Cat's Mother nice to see Pratchett fans on here! Now I really want a Scooby Roo, and a Scrappy Roo!

Hi  @ArcaneCollector . We fans are everywhere, maybe we should form a sub-group on the Forum if  @Admin can set one up. After all, gold plays a huge role on the Disc, and I believe  @kimchi 's sausages in a bun are to die for. Only half a Rhinu each, funeral extra.

A sub forum for fans? what on earth are you lot talking about?

Crypto is going, soon to be replaced with something else I feel is more appropriate for many. 

If you want anything like a sub forum, i will need details.

@AceBullion has been working on turtles I think

Oh blimey yes the Perth Roos. I bought some once, took one look at their (already) milked blandness, and buried them straight in the ground in disappointment! Some of the RAM Roos are lovely (and very collectable). You are a discerning chap indeed if you appreciate a Kook, I'm sure I and many others on the forum can help you with older years if you ever get to that stage Funnily enough I've never had a Noah's Ark, they don't seem as common. I can heartily recommend the Somalian Elephant if you don't mind another coin that's highly prone to spotting (very sad this one as they are beautiful low premium coins).

As TCM suggests I think we need a sub-group for Glod among other things, many thanks in advance!

Hi  @Admin . Calm down, dear - you should know better than to take seriously anything that  @kimchi or I suggest, and it looks like we have a soulmate in  @ArcaneCollector . It concerns books, and I am looking for the first impression of the second edition of 'The Colour of Magic'. Can I list it in the 'Wanted' section? I am very fussy about condition, though.
