... Free from PVC and other damaging substances? Safe for proof silver rounds etc? YES! I have coins stored in AirTites since 2000 and they are in pristine condition. Anyway, you can change the capsules every 10 years if you want to be on the safe side and have peace of mind. rgrds |

For example, if they are in baggage in an unpressurized location on a plane that flies at 30,000' or above will they pop open, exchange outside air or do they still remain air-tight? |

I believe that the term "Air-Tite" is more of a monicker or trade name than an actual promise of performance. I have never seen any advertising claims (that I can recall) that state that they are atmosphereically impervious. There is probably a legalistic "out" since they don't say "air-tight". Nonetheless, I have successfully used Air-Tites for many years and love them. My only gripe with Air-tites is that the outer plastic shell is very susceptible to scratches if you stack or move them frequently (say in a two by two red cardboard box that isn't full). oly |

I have never seen any advertising claims (that I can recall) that state that they are atmosphereically impervious. There is probably a legalistic "out" since they don't say "air-tight". There may be a theoretical legal advantage to not using the term "Air-Tight" if they are sued because their containers prove not to be air tight. However, I suspect that a judge or jury would ignore any defense based on the spelling. Spelled either way, it implies that the container is in fact air tight. It may have more to do with trademarks. AFAIK, you cannot trademark a commonly used word just to have a monopoly on it, just as you cannot copyright the word "the". Hence the many instances of brand names that spell a word phonetically rather than conventionally, e.g., "Brite" and "Klean". The phonetic spelling is a unique characteristic not in common usage, so it can be protected as a trademark. The odd spelling also has a marketing advantage in that "mistakes" like this tend to distinguish the brand name, and make it more memorable than those using conventional spellings. - mazorj the Legalist |

Well, I've no such experience but I can deduce that since they protect coins from corrosion=they don't let outer air to penetrate=they are more or less air "tight. rgrds -- E' mai possibile, oh porco di un cane, che le avventure in codesto reame debban risolversi tutte con grandi puttane!

I've bought from them in the past, a very reliable seller. -- E' mai possibile, oh porco di un cane, che le avventure in codesto reame debban risolversi tutte con grandi puttane!

My only gripe with Air-tites is that the outer plastic shell is very susceptible to scratches if you stack or move them frequently (say in a two by two red cardboard box that isn't full). Better the outer shell than our coins, right?;-) That's for sure. I love air-tites since I can get a good close look at the coin without fear of damage from accidental mis-handling. I keep most of my coins that are in air-tites stored in dollar coin tubes (up to the 30mm direct fit size that is.) You can get about 10-12+ capsules in a tube depending on size/thickness. |
