A thousand pardons if they question has been posed prior. I was curious as to how others stored their TPG slabbed coins (at home). I have a pelican case that I use for silver in Mylar flips & Air-Tites, but it occurred to me recently that my (only) PCGS coin (It's a Morgan dollar if your interested) is just sitting in a bubble-wrap envelope in the safe. Am I messing up here? The coin doesn't have any visible signs of change incase you're wondering. I would like to keep it that way though. I pull it out quite often, so that was why it's not in the pelican case with the rest of the silver (A majority of it being ASE's)... that consequently doesn't get as much attention as the Morgan. Thanks for your time  |

Nice collection. I would also put them in zip lock bags.This would be an environment control.

Album pages that have nine pockets specifically for slabs are available.
These pages fit into the standard albums that hold pages for twenty 2x2 flips.

The slab pages are bulky but it is far better aesthetically than having to dig out slabs from the blue boxes  Dunno about the NGC boxes they are just crappy cardboard and quite flimsy  |

Regarding the PCGS and NGC plastic boxes. NGC boxes will fit either PCGS or NGC slabs without issue PCGS boxes will not fit NGC slabs. Well you can put NGC slabs in them, but the lids don't fully close. NGC boxes tend to cost a little more than PCGS boxes. Either type are offered frequently on ebay for pretty good prices. Especially if you're ok with purchasing them used. Edited by Tbone

Thank you for all of your responses. Those PCGS/NGC boxes seem quite attractive. Do they have seals of any kind? Edited by CopperCastle

The lids sort of snap into place.
You can see on the side, there is a little indent where the lid is held.

Check your local coin shows too, I often see them offered for cheap by dealers on Sunday that don't want to haul them home. I use Pelican cases #1600 stored in the home safe and either PCGS/ANACS boxes or cardboard slab boxes. My better slabs I place into the small fitting ziplock bags to prevent the plastic from getting all scratched up and hairlines. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.
