Hi, I'm wondering on how would the coin enthusiasts here store their slabbed coins, if any of you provide more protection to it?
I've seen some popular ones for the slabbed coins storing for further protection: the kind of like a special zip-lock bag for slabbed coins size, boxes especially made to fit slabbed coins, or some that looks like a case that perfectly fits one slab with a see-through part to view the coins and the label.
Wondering if you do provide more protection, which method would you do. I guess if you have a million dollar coin then you could even slab it, put the coin case, then put it in the ziplock, then put it in a box. lol quadruple protection.
Have seen some interesting protection for slabbed coins, called Intercept Technology (patented). But I don't know if it really is making that difference in cancelling and purifying the oxidation and etc.
Anyways, share your thoughts if you like. thanks

I see, it may be the most unattractive one eye appeal wise, but gotta agree it gives the best way to seal it. thanks for the input

Do you guys *object* to the Intercept boxes, or just find them to be unnecessary when the baggie method is available?

 I have no slabbed coins. I put all my coins in Albums. Slabs take up to much space and serve no purpose. I love the fact I can open one Album and see all the coins. Mountains of slabs are just to space taking. Edited by just carl

Some are in the cardboard boxes that NGC uses for shipping, some are in NGC plastic storage boxes and a few are in PCGS plastic storage boxes, I like the NGC plastic boxes because almost all of my PGCS slabs fit into them also, the reverse is not true. However I do not yet have any coins in the newest PCGS secure plus slabs so I don't know how they fit.

This company has some great Aluminum boxes that are not too pricey. Ziplock bags are a LOT cheaper though.  |

Actually I use the older PCGS and NCG boxes to store my older commemoratives. Some of the newer slabs don't fit in them but I'm sure you can purchase newer (larger) boxes for each grader. I keep them stored in a place where it is climate controlled and with plenty of anti-dessicant bags (if you look you can find them in larger size bags). Never have had any problems thus far and been doing it for years.

I like the little baggies available at Wal*Mart for $2/C. This is a portion of my die study collection. These coins often get examined several times a day. I want the slabs to stay unscratched so that the coins are easier to photograph.  |

I have gone to this 50 coin slab box from Lighthouse. I will only use it for silver dollars. It takes NGC, PCGS, and Lighthouse Everslabs which I will use for my non graded coins. My graded ICCS fit in an awkward way in there too. My other coins are in albums so this is my only bulky storage system. I like to handle the coins one at time and see up close. That I cannot do with my regular albums. It also gives me the capability of easily comparing or sorting coins based on various criteria.   Edited by punman

I have a PCGS and a NGC slab holder. Only have one slab right now my 72 DDO 65 rede.I(usually crack my coins and throw violently into a album without any gloves on and right after I ate a greasy slice of pizza,ya no get those custom fingerprints on the coins. On a serious note. I place all my albums in Ziploc bags as well as them being in the slipcase holder. |

Pretty much any Tupperware type bin, if it's safe for food I believe it's safe for my coins, I also put in a large desiccant pack, and store those in my Safe. They have self locking lids and stack well. I also use the plastic bags on newer slabs to protect them from scratches for photography purposes.
The higher dollar ones get the desiccant pack and put in the bank safe deposit box.
