Black, Blue, Green? What’s your choice box

We have the new sleek Black box hitting from our host. Previously blue was the norm and of course the original Green (not counting the early original box of course). So what’s your favorite? What color would you have picked? Personally I would have gone with a deep Purple since Purple is color of royalty and coins are the hobby of Kings! What’s your thought?

    The original rattler boxes in black were cool.

    Black was nice enough the first time around. Nice to see it come back. :)

    Umm......

    If your submission is primarily one metal over another the box should be the color of the coins.

    I vote for copper, silver and gold boxes! 😳

    I agree with @Swampboy.... I like the green boxes and fortunately have a good supply. Gold coins look very nice with the green.... ;) Cheers, RickO

    I like they way the different colors contrast with the metallic colors of coins.

    Black for Au

    Green for Ag, Pt, and Pd

    Blue for all others

    Rattler boxes are great. There is nothing like opening a slab box with 20 Rattlers in it.

    For my other stuff I prefer the box to match the color of the slab insert.

    What if someone made slightly taller, transparent lids to fit the PCGS box bottoms?

    That would be cool. A slightly smoked color and the black bottom.

    @ms70 if you like boxes of 10, these work fantastic! Perfect size for all TPG slabs.

    ms70, I do not know the ingredients of the box of 10. It is hard and odorless.

    I got lucky as unbeknownst to me when I moved to my current home, my new neighbor was a longtime dealer in coins and I grew up reading his advertisements inside most of the known numismatic magazines. He took a liking to me and gave me one, he has several and when I told him there would likely be collectors who would pay for those he was shocked. A good coin dealer and a great man.

    I find it odd that they change colors at all.
    I think the green ones are great.
    I think the blue ones are great.
    I think the black ones are great (but they seem to attract dust like a magnet.)

    When in doubt, don't.
  • keetskeets Posts: 25,351 ✭✭✭✭✭

    at the risk of being banned I will state that I would choose any color NGC box before any other, for obvious reasons.
