I attached a pic. They are just long boxes that hold the proof silver eagle boxes. For some reason I can't seem to find them anywhere. Anyone have any idea where I can find them? Thanks!

Sorry, I should have clarified. I'm actually looking for the long storage box that you can store the proof eagle boxes in.

I've never seen those before. Are they part of OGP or from a secondary market?

I have no idea. It was among the coin storage boxes that my grandfather had and he only had the 1. It fits the AE proofs perfectly

lol yea I've tried that as well...no luck. It seems like it would be a pretty standard box like the proof set boxes are. Just trying to store the proof eagles in their mint boxes in a container where they don't move around. I have so many different types of boxes but that one, no sign. Oh well

looks like a crown size box holder, what are the dimensions of the black box?

it's 4" wide, 14" long, 3" tall. I can only ever find boxes for proof sets, unc. envelope sets, 2x2 coin flips, and slabs...never anything for the silver eagle proof boxes

I did try to use the currency boxes. Width wise not as good as the other box but definitely usable. I'm not really too worried about the boxes holding less as long as everything is a snug fit since I could always just buy more boxes. I have a box for large bills and for small bills. Both of them would be perfect if they were either a half inch larger or half inch shorter. Once filled to capacity there's space for free movement. If I don't happen to find the box I'm looking for I guess I can just use the currency boxes and put a piece of bubble wrap in the empty space.
I'm very OCD when it comes to organizing and storing my collection so I can be quite picky haha.
