American Gold Eagle original US mint capsule, no coin

Description

This is an original 16.57mm US mint capsule for the 1986 to present American Gold Eagles.
Capsule is the rare, actual, unique US Mint capsule, not an aftermarket item and is only available with US mint coins. US Mint capsules are unique in that the obverse side of the capsule is raised and not flat like an aftermarket AirTite capsule. Capsule may show some marks from being opened by the grading company. I paid extra grading fees to have these returned.
Buy more than one and save. This first one purchased is priced higher to cover my shipping cost. Additional capsules have no shipping cost built in. No coin included.
How to open capsule:
They are tight, seem almost vacuum filled. Find the seam on the edge using a razor knife. Pry it a little so that you can get a fingernail from each hand in the seam. Holding the capsule on edge on your chest/stomach, slowly rotate it along your chest prying the halves apart a little at a time until you can pull the two halves apart. Try to pull the halves apart too soon and you will damage the capsule.
Payment:

Taxes:
Ebay is now automatically collecting taxes for sales to
some
states. I do not add sales tax to your purchase. If your total purchase price includes state sales taxes, they were added by ebay. If ebay is adding taxes to your purchase from me, they are adding it to your purchases from all sellers. I have no control over ebay adding taxes to your purchase, it is built into their algorithm as they are complying with recent changes to individual state sales tax laws that now affect internet purchases.
