"Holder" for Five Slabs as a Birth Year Set?

winesteven

As a gift for someone special, I'm obtaining the five coins needed for a 1948 Birth Year Set. Since the coins are relatively inexpensive in slabs, I'd prefer to avoid buying raw coins (which admittedly would fit and look nice in a Capital Birth Year Set holder). The grades, from the cent through half, will be MS66RD, MS65FS, MS66+, MS65, and MS64FBL. While the Half Dollar will run me around $50, the other four coins will total only about $95 or so. Any suggestions about how these can be "displayed" in an attractive manner?

Guardhouse makes one - check suppliers - but it may run around $50 with shipping

I would be worried about about chemical exposure from the adhesive used on the felt covered tray for long term storage.

I've bought several off fleaBay - not sure what they are made of - from this guy:

I would like to have a PCGS holder birth set with the 4 gold coins

There are a number of multi-slab display boxes listed on eBay. Some "leatherette", some wood. I did two for my father's birth year, 1912. Did the five coin set and the four coin gold set. Makes a great display. Did a six coin 1918 set for my mom, including the Lincoln commem. Great fun, nice heirlooms.

I see that Brooklyn Gallery has that (or something identical) for $29.96 plus shipping.

I like this.
I'm a 48 philly mint nickel short of a complete birth year mint set in PCGS holders but with this display case I could show off any 5 pieces.
Cool.

I have one these 5 slab holders. Have had my birthyear set in it for about 5 years now with no problems.

I'm curious about two things.
1. Is keeping them in the slabs important?
2. Is 14 question marks in a thread title a record?

As noted above, I ordered what Brooklyn Gallery had. It arrived yesterday, and is indeed made and supplied to them by Guardhouse. It was packed extremely well, and is GORGEOUS "in hand". Their cost was only $29.96 plus $11.69 UPS shipping, for a total of $41.65 for the five PCGS slab version (they also make these for fewer slabs). A nice weekend to all.
