This listing is for the Capital Plastics Model #144 Single Coin Holder specifically sized to fit one U.S. Half Dime coin. This holder is necessary because the Half Dime's dimensions differ significantly from the modern copper-nickel Nickel (21.2mm).

Coin Specific Sizing: The internal coin opening is precisely sized and tapered to provide a snug, secure fit for the Half Dime, ensuring the coin is held by its edge (rim) only. This prevents friction on the coin's surfaces, which is crucial for preserving the delicate details and toning of these antique silver coins.
Archival Safety: Constructed from 100% inert, non-plasticized acrylic (free of sulfur, acid, PVC, or oily substances), the holder guarantees that your valuable silver coin is protected for long-term preservation.
Professional Presentation: The three-panel design, secured by clear plastic screws (included), provides a durable, professional, and visually appealing display that fits standard coin boxes and album pages.
Embossed Title: The colored center insert is typically stamped with a gold-foil title, such as "HALF DIME," clearly identifying this historical 5-cent silver piece.
The Half Dime is a Pre-1900 U.S. Coin, meaning its dimensions can vary due to older minting processes. Capital Plastics stresses the need for a non-forcing fit to prevent damage. They suggest the optional purchase of their Coin Fitting Tool (CP-CFT) to gently adjust the holder's opening if the coin is too snug.
