wif99 Valued Member United States 377 Posts	Posted 12/15/2008 11:01 am I have a couple hundred slabs mostly PCGS, and was wondering what is the best way to protect them from scratches etc.? I currently use small ziplock bags but have not found a good tight fit. I have thought about heat shrink as I have the required equipment but it is my understanding that heat shrink contains PVC. What does everyone else do? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Josh Valued Member United States 115 Posts	Posted 12/15/2008 12:56 pm That's a great question. I know that for slabbed sports cards they have sleeves that are available that go over the slab. I have not seen these available for coins as of yet but that doesn't mean they are not out there. I'll start looking around and see if I can find any.

Josh Valued Member United States 115 Posts	Posted 12/15/2008 1:06 pm I just did a quick search on google and came up with about 3 different sellers on ebay that offer them. I searched for protective sleeves for slabbed coins. Edited by Josh 12/15/2008 1:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 12/15/2008 1:30 pm Purchase those boxes like biokemist6 shows, cut many small pieces of cardboard to fit inbetween each slab. My method is to open them, place the coins in an album, throw out the plastic cases they come in. Report this Post to the Staff

I do not collect slabs, but if I did, I would probably like the box that Biokemist recommended.

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 12/15/2008 3:54 pm I use boxes that came from PCGS to hold my PCGS slabs and boxes that came from NGC to hold my NGC slabs. NGC will not fit in PCGS box because they are to tall. I also have some of the cardboard boxes that have spacers for something like 20 coins that NGC ships coins back to you in after they have been graded Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 12/15/2008 7:14 pm I have several of those boxes. They are great for sorting the different sizes of batteries. I have many cards full of those button batteries for watches, toys, watches, etc. and no good place for them. Those boxes are great for that. Not one slabbed coin though. If you do open those slabs, many have a great rubberized type washer to hold the coin. If you make your own clocks, those are good to hold the movements in place. Report this Post to the Staff
