Air-Tite model table observed at air-tites.com on 2026-08-25. Direct-fit codes are the manufacturer's; ring model and size are derived by matching each coin's diameter to the published ring range. Rings are made in whole millimetres, so a 24.3 mm quarter takes a 25 mm ring — rows marked rounds up are where that matters. Album numbers and date ranges are quoted from Dansco's catalogue on 2026-09-05; a dash means Dansco catalogues no album, not that we failed to look. Diameters are nominal — early coinage struck on open collars varies, and a caliper beats a table.
Ordered by fitment and archival safety, from a dataset that holds no commission information. Some links earn us a commission; none of them change what appears here or in what order. How that works.
