Answer
Hello John,                     

Your question was "where or how can I replace these capsules?”
I do not know how close the capsules fit in the Mint holders but these are exactly like the "AIR-TITE" brand acrylic holders available from most hobby shops. See;

I could only guess that on eBay or coin shows would you find some original boxes and holders for these sets.

However it does not always bring higher prices at auction that the packaging is intact.
Many collectors are (and should be) looking only at the coin not the holder it is in.

Thank You for the question and Good Luck

PapaJack
