So I typically prefer my coins in their OGP. HOWEVER, for a few years, as well know, the Mint severely downgraded their packaging.

I just received a Platinum Eagle proof in the old crappy packaging, but would really like it in a nice clamshell.

Does anyone know how I might be able to get a nicer display box for my coin? I've looked on ebay but didn't seem to have much luck. I figured I might have better luck around here.

I would continue to check e-Bay. The OGP you are seeking will appear! Patience!

@phillyprod, I have about 10 Clam shell Blue Velvet lined boxes that fit the US ASE's

I bought them back in 2021 to do the same thing you are trying to do, but I never did.

I can let them go for $10.00 each (If I remember I got them for 15 back then..)

PM me if you want them.

Platinum and silver eagles are different diameters.

are they? I had no idea.. thanks for that.

Are they larger of smaller? (I would assume smaller due to the metal content.)

ASE is a little easier, 40.60mm, 1.598".
On the platinum, I'm assuming that's the $100 1oz,
That is 32.7mm, 1.287".

Visual reference to the 1 oz American Silver, Gold, and Platinum Eagles.
