Nice cabinets...
I guess it depends on how may pucks you have (or will have)
If you have a bunch then carrying them around (no clue why) would be a heavy task either way..250 oz is 250 oz.
I like the multi-drawer....

@AtB: I discussed the 56-coin cabinet from APMEX here about three years ago here on this blog. Might be when back in the pp 130s-140s. Not a bad product, needs airing out as the shellac odor is really strong and will affect unencapsulated silver (very strong gases). The top clear window is a thick plastic similar to regular items sold in plastic over wrap packaging, not plexiglass, which it should be for the price. Only for those chasing the full set, seven drawers are filled now and it's already super heavy. The better choice is the Book of Silver, if you are going have just a few pucks or for specific years. Both items will NOT accommodate the Mint OGP only the Z5/10 holder issued by the Air-Tite Holders Inc brand.

@AtB I use the Book of Silver folders for the bullion versions of the ATB's. It makes it easy to sort them by year and the folders are pretty inexpensive. I also have gotten a couple of the 5 coin wooden boxes from APMEX for displaying P pucks I have gotten for 2015 and 2016. If I eventually get closer to completing the set I'd definitely consider getting the cabinet. One thing to keep in mind if you are going to display the P pucks is that all of these products only fit the air-tite capsules. Mint capsules the P pucks come in will not fit.

That is what I was wondering if the plastic covers fit. I think I would like coins in the cover.

It really is a nice presentation. If I had a walk-in coin and collections vault, that would be on display somewhere.

Kind of depends what you're collecting for. The P version is more often costlier for past issue. For the new issue P version costs $149.95 at issue. The bullion is priced less.

Are the Z5 capsules the same size as the ones from the mint or are they smaller in diameter?

A little bit smaller. The Mint capsules are too big to fit in the holes of either the folders or the cases.

Thanks mr1030. If anyone knows where to find the same capsules that the mint uses (or the same size that will fit in the mint OGP), please let me know.

@Bret - you could probably find empty OGP capsules on ebay. I haven't looked personally but I know you can get all kinds of other OGP for cheap after TPGs return it to the submitter. Ah, Fort Moultrie. Probably my least favorite of the 2016 designs. I guess it's growing on me a bit, but I really just wish they'd stay away from people in the designs and concentrate on the park itself.

It is one of my favourite places to visit, but I was also disappointed with the design choice. I really wanted this one to win, but not many of you liked it...

We were visiting Charlston once and the place we were going to stay was not very clean so while we were able to see the fort from the mainland never made it there. Someday!
