I purchased some BU 500 lire silver coins from Italy. I tried placing them in the standard 50 cent capsule, but they are too small to fit and rattle. I tried Canada 50 cent slab holders with foam inserts, but the coins are too small and fall through the opening. What size holders are made for these coins? Who makes them? Thanks.
Slab holders may be more difficult as the foam insert may not match the coin size. I recently had the same problem with a 10mm coin. My solution was to spin the foam piece and drill a 10mm hole with a drill press. Make sure you sandwich the foam between 2 pieces of wood. Also, you'll need to do some rather deft measuring to make sure the coin is centered.
Hoping this is helpful.
