NGC/PCGS protective cases for slabs

TheGoonies1985

Anyone know where I can buy such cases that is not from China? I would like to stack my coins in my safety deposit box and not worry about pressure damaging my NGC and PCGS holders.

Also I am guessing that these holder do not contain PVC?

Do you mean the plastic boxes that hold twenty coins that PCGS and NGC produce? If so, ebay is typically flooded with them, but you may want to run a BST thread simply asking who has them and how much they need for them. You may get some for just the cost of shipping plus a few dollars each.

TomB

You are also correct, they do not contain PVC.

No I mean for single slabs like these but I only see dealers in China. Does anyone know of dealers in the USA that have similar holders?

Or something similar to these just want to be able to stack my coins and leave them there for years on end without worry of the pressure from staking one over the other over the other.

I love these. I'm not sure if PCGS will do it for ATS. I haven't seen one yet.

I think I saw some collectors post some plastic safety slabs for their PCGS or NGC cases in the past just can't find the topic.

Pressure from weight of slabs is minimal and won't crack a slab. The time spent in the stack does not matter.
If you want to avoid scuffs from slabs moving on top of each other, time spent also does not matter, as they won't be
moving in the SDB, except maybe for the occasional earthquake.
You could use a plastic slab box of 20 that holds each slab upright, so there would be no vertical pressure,
and it is easier to grab all 20 at once.
It might take up slightly more space in the SDB than just the plain slabs,
but it would take up a lot less space that putting each slab in a separate plastic case.
If you have a mix of NGC and PCGS slabs, you can use a PCGS plastic slab box of 20, or you could get a cardboard box,
like those sold at Brooklyn Gallery.
They have many other storage ideas that you might like.

These won’t stack well, but they may still work for you.

I believe your fears are unfounded.... No danger of damage storing slabs in that manner. However, if the concern will not be alleviated, get the boxes that store them upright in slots. Cheap and available. Cheers, RickO

Actually these look great I may just go with these. Thanks.

I'm still looking for the heavy duty Capital Plastics type with screws that was once made by a forum member.

I would but my box is not large enough to use these that is the problem. It is long enough but not thick enough.

I was just about to post the same thing. I bought some from that same site a while back. It protects the slab from getting scuffed up over the coin. It doesn’t protect the rest of the slab though, but scuff marks and scratches that interfere with your view of the coin are prevented very easily

Thanks guys!!!

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy from them directly through their web site?

Mr_Spud

Here’s Wizards eBay store https://www.ebay.com/str/wizardcoinsupply?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=StPedQFdQ6G&sssrc=3418065&ssuid=s3ex_-IfR4S&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Here's a seller from Chicago https://www.ebay.com/usr/allcoins4you?_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2559
I bought the one listed for NGC slab and works fine getting slab in & out. I'm not sure about the plastic contents though. You may want to ask the seller.
I also have the one you posted above and it was from China.
Hope this helps you.

I usually open one and smell the inside. If it smells like a new shower curtain or it has that "new car smell", it's probably made of PVC and should be avoided for coin storage. If it's odorless, it's probably okay.

Knell

In that case NO shower curtain smell or any at all.

These do not contain any PVC?

TomB

No PVC. They are specifically made to protect coinage inside of slabs.
