Supply Size Finder: Flips, capsules, tubes, and storage

Quick answer: Most raw U.S. coins fit a 2x2 cardboard or mylar flip, while capsules and tubes should match the coin's diameter in millimeters as closely as possible.

What To Check First

Collector checks

  • Coin diameter in millimeters and whether the coin is raw, slabbed, oversized, or non-standard.
  • Whether the goal is display, long-term storage, shipping, or bulk tube storage.
  • Whether a capsule, 2x2 flip, tube, slab sleeve, or box is the better storage choice.

Best next steps

  • Measure unusual tokens and medals with a caliper before ordering capsules.
  • Avoid PVC for long-term storage.
  • Use padded packaging for shipping raw coins and protect slab corners during transit.

How To Use This Tool

Steps

  • Choose the coin type or enter a custom diameter.
  • Pick whether the goal is display, long-term storage, shipping, or bulk storage.
  • Verify unusual tokens, medals, and non-standard coins with a caliper.

Example Uses

  • Finding a capsule size for an American Silver Eagle.
  • Choosing a flip for a Morgan dollar.
  • Sorting tubes for cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, and halves.

What This Result Means

The recommendation is a practical storage starting point. Exact fit can vary by brand and holder style.

What This Tool Cannot Do

This tool cannot guarantee fit for medals, tokens, damaged coins, or non-standard holders.

CoinHub Labs tools are educational resources. They do not provide guaranteed appraisals, authentication, official grading opinions, confirmed variety/error attributions, or binding offers.

Choose a coin-safe holder

Use archival, PVC-free supplies for long-term storage. Match the coin diameter to the manufacturer's stated fit; foam rings and tolerances vary. Certified slabs need slab boxes, pages or protective sleeves, rather than ordinary coin tubes.
