    That's where you put all your CAC coins.

    Why does it matter what color the plastic box is? Presumably, PCGS buys whatever is the lowest unit price box, provided the color is palatable.

    It matters because together with the blue boxes it gives the appearance that I am a Seahawks fan.

    MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    they sell in the 20 dollar area on e bay. I got a green box when I ordered the special retro green labels on my submission about 3 years ago

    My original green PCGS box is where I have my keepers!

    Got one yesterday on my latest submission. Very nice, thanks PCGS!

    there are two possibilities that I see: they are using gem Green boxes from submissions or when they moved a while ago they found some that they had stashed away. it is almost certain that it isn't what roger thinks, that they got a better price on green so they bought them.

    I got 1 green and 3 blue in the most recent returns........

    Best, SH
