Pete,

Where did you get the photo of the 1BTC silver coin from? The edges of my coin holograms have been lasered and this one has not?

Also can you point me at a link where you go the air-tite capsules from and with what size ring insert.

Thanks.

PM'd, but just for the record:

I used the photo from Mike's blog post: http://casascius.wordpress.com/2013/06/27/silver-coins-now-here/
I think Mike started laser-melting the hologram edges after the recent discovery that the holograms can be peeled and replaced fairly easily without detection:

I ordered the ringed coin capsules from here: http://www.coingallery.co.uk/air-tite-ringed-capsules-37-c.asp
They are Lighthouse (Leuchtturm) capsules. You need 39mm rings for 1BTC coins and 30mm ones for 0.5BTC

Best regards
Pete
