Ways To Store/Display Both 2x2 Holders And Slabs Together

one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 565 Posts	Posted 11/25/2020 5:44 pm Hi folks. I have a number of my Mercury dimes in Capital Plastics 2x2 holders (black with black screw posts) and I also have a few TPG slabs. I currently have these in a 2x2 box, but I have to lay the slabs down at the end of the box and this doesn't seem like the best approach. Do you have suggestions for storing both of these kinds of holders together? Is there a different sized box I need (or something else)? Thanks!

I think there is one that matches PCGS dimensions, but I would to have to look for it again.

one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 565 Posts	Posted 11/28/2020 12:25 am Thanks fellas, but right now I'm not looking to move what I currently have in the capital plastics holders. I actually like those holders very much, and even sought out black Chicago screws to match the black holders. What I'm asking is if anyone knows of a storage box that can accommodate both certified slabs and the capital plastics 2x2 holders. It seems perhaps not. Thanks for your thoughts though, something to consider at least.

commems Pillar of the Community United States 5022 Posts	Posted 11/29/2020 3:48 pm @one_fine_dime: It wouldn't be cheap, but you could use a combination of Lighthouse coin trays/boxes and a Lighthouse case to house your collection. Lighthouse makes trays to hold multiple slabs and trays to hold 2x2s. I use them for my Canadian silver dollar collection and like them very much. Here's a link to the Lighthouse web site so you can learn more bout them: https://www.lighthouse.us/collect-c...accessories/ Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 565 Posts	Posted 11/29/2020 8:00 pm Thanks commems. I think that is definitely an elegant way to display coins, but likely more than I'm looking for right now. I think I could get a box like this (see link below) designed for slabs that could likely accommodate 2x2 holders as well. The PCGS slab I have is around 2.5 inches wide. So the 2x2s could just sit at one end of the box and the slabs at the other. I'm so slow at growing my collection right now, and only have a few slabs so far, but from what I see of problem coins on ebay, I'm guessing I'll likely be purchasing at least a few more certified specimens in the future. https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pr...-slab-boxes/ My avatar is from the reverse of the US 1987 Constitution Silver Dollar and features 13 diverse people intended to represent the wide cultural and social spectrum of the United States. >>> E Pluribus Unum (Out of Many, One) - the de facto motto of the United States <<< Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 94180 Posts	Posted 11/30/2020 09:39 am Looks like a good solution. Coin Collector Since 1978 My Avatar My Old Avatar My 7070 My Eisenhower Dollars CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
commems Pillar of the Community United States 5022 Posts	Posted 11/30/2020 09:42 am Got it! My only suggestion is to spend the extra dollar or two for the heavy duty version of the box that interests you. It will hold up better over time and last longer.

Minnimarine Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 12/21/2020 9:16 pm What is a good album to put pennies in? The cardboard ones look cheap. How else can I protect coins from humidity and such? A good album to put the coins in is really what I'm looking for. I do use the cardboard squares 2×2 and put the coins in the red box. Report this Post to the Staff
