We are proud to present a new breed of expanded shell. Because these shells are not machined from actual coins, an image of the eagle is visible on BOTH sides of the shell. Yes, you can actually flash the inside of the shell! Fitting Tip--These shells are expanded BUT they are meant to fit the coin snug unlike most UNIVERSAL shells that fit loose. Finding a few well-worn coins is easy at your local bank. If the shell fits too snug and worn coins aren't available, two minutes with a nail file around the edge of the coin will solve the problem. With regular new half-dollars, you have a locking shell!
