I like the lighthouse box, does it come in one or multiple sizes?

I use intercept shield boxes. I even use the intercept sleeves also on most of them.

I like this one from Lighthouse. Not the cheapest box out there but wanted something that looks nice for my silver dollar collection.
That is what I bought for the graded Ike set I am now building.

The one I showed was a 50 slab box. They also make a 25, or at least they used to.

Before I posted, I did search using Google (doesn't veryone ?), got lots of hits for NGC Boxes, lots of hits for PCGS Boxes,
but nothing that held both.

Now, if anyone has a link, I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks, Richard S.

The Lighthouse box pictured above holds both. Searching Amazon for "Lighthouse coin box" gave several matches that claim both, as does the description for the box sold here: http://www.jpscorner.com/coin-slab-...e-boxes.html

These lighthouse boxes are very nice.

I have the 50 count one and am very happy with it.

OK, I see the claim, I'll try one and see if the Marketing types speak the truth.

Thanks for all the replies,

Richard S.

Are PCGS and NGC slabs different sizes?

Yes. The PCGS holder is slightly wider, shorter, and thinner than the NGC.

PCGS: 8.1 cm tall, 6.2 cm wide, 0.8 cm thick.

NGC: 8.5 cm tall, 6.0 cm wide, 1.0 cm thick.

I got a nice wooden case from another member at a coin club meeting. It works well for PCGS, but NCG slabs are slightly thicker. You might want to consider that when choosing a box. There is a reason they are marked PCGS or NGC. I do thing an NGC box would hold, with a little play, PCGS slabs.

I use the free cardboard slab boxes that I get every time I submit coins to ANACS.
