mavs2583 Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 1:47 pm Hi Everyone, I'm looking for ideas on how to store my PCGS slabs. I'm working on a full set of Mercury dimes, so I'll have about 80 total when I'm done. I was wondering if there is a realistic way of storing them or displaying them together. I would prefer not to have to take them out individually when I want to look at them, like I do now with them being in those blue PCGS storage boxes. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 09/02/2018 3:48 pm Here's what I started doing on my slabs. Have miscellaneous type coins, and a start of Jefferson proofs in mostly 68's. These are Guardhouse brand 9-pocket hard plastic pages. I can fit 5 pages in a 3" binder, that's 45 in each binder for your dimes. These slip in and out but are securely in place. Here's what they look like and I do a layout record of detail, #'s and small pix as well to document. Works well for me. Report this Post to the Staff

einstem Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 09/04/2018 10:31 pm I actually use the Eagle Coin Slab Holder pages, and like that you can take individual slabs in and out without having to take-apart the pages. The lighthouse pages use a "clamshell" page design where you have to open two halfs of the page to insert/remove any of the slabs, even just a single one. I find that a pain to work with, although they are definitely a bit more "secure" if you never plan to move around the contents of the pages. They can be found on the WizardCoinSupply site, and run about $6 for a 2-pack, so are about $3 per page. Whereas the Eagle Coins holders have a little square recess and a flexible "retainer band" that lets you slip the slabs in and out one at a time. Here is a link to the Eagle Slab Pages (PS: Good products, but terrible website). http://www.eaglecoinholders.com/new...ath=21_28_53 You get 9 slabs per page , and can get 3 pages for about $13, or just over $4 per page. I also use the Eagle pages for my proof albums, and like those as well. I haven't used or seen the GuardHouse Slab Pages, but Guardhouse also makes "quality stuff", and if they allow you to take the slabs in and out one at a time, then they would be worth a look as well.

Every time Crazyb0 shares photos of his collections, I am impressed with his storage and display methods. Report this Post to the Staff
mavs2583 Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 09/05/2018 3:50 pm Thank you for all the information thus far. One more question: Is there anything special about the binders themselves, or can you use any binder to fit the slab sheets? Report this Post to the Staff
einstem Valued Member United States 314 Posts	Posted 09/05/2018 7:21 pm You can use any 3-ring binder. I usually get mine at Staples and like the "D-Ring" type, since it makes the pages lay flat. Can go for 3 inch or 4 inch D-rings, depending upon how many pages you want in them. I usually stay away from "White" since they tend to get dirtier easier then black or blue or other colors. Here is a link to one: https://www.staples.com/3-staples-s...roduct_82641 If you are building a specific "slabbed set", then Eagle Coin has a nice system that includes all the pages, a binder, and an "index page" that goes in the front of the binder. For example, I am doing this for a slabbed Peace dollar set. Here is the link for the Peace dollar set for example, but they have many others: http://www.eaglecoinholders.com/new...oducts_id=61 But you can really do this yourself with just a binder and creating your own "index page"..
