Leuchtturm Ultra Perfect Fit Capsule - 1 oz American Eagle Silver

The American Silver Eagle is the largest of the major sovereign bullion coins at 40.6mm — wider than the Britannia (38.61mm), the Maple Leaf (38mm), and the Philharmoniker (37mm). That extra diameter means most standard 39mm or 40mm capsules won't fit it. Forcing a 40.6mm coin into an undersized capsule scratched the rim and risks permanent marking. The Leuchtturm Ultra Perfect Fit 40.6mm capsule is designed for the Eagle's exact diameter. The American Silver Eagle has been struck to precise federal standards since 1986, with a diameter of 40.6mm and thickness of 2.98mm. The American Silver Eagle has been the official silver bullion coin of the United States since its first release on November 24, 1986, featuring Adolph A. Weinman's Walking Liberty design — one of the most recognised coin designs in American numismatic history. The PMMA polyacrylic construction keeps that design visible and protected indefinitely: acid-free, plasticizer-free, and optically clear through years of storage. Supplied in a tube that contains 10 coin capsules.
