Looking for a Rattler Box

Looking for one as I build a rattler type set. Let me know what you have. I know these are tough to find so I’m willing to pay what they are worth.

Thanks!

    I saw something for sale online a few years ago which might work for you. Some company was selling flexible rubber-like frames for rattler slabs so they could be stored in a regular PCGS slab box. I don't remember the name of the company and they may no longer being made. You could call one of the coin supply companies such as Wizard and ask them.

    Also, proper sized rubber bands on top and bottom of the slab works well, wider ones like you find on asparagus and broccoli purchases, im sure you could find nice ones once you know the proper size

    I keep rubber bands far away from my coins because they are loaded with sulfur and slabs aren't completely airtight. Take a rubber band and stretch it a few times and then smell it.

    Thanks all! I bit the bullet and called that eBay seller directly to purchase that box for a slight discount. I should have kept the ones I used to have.

    I have some of the old Teletrade storage boxes - they work for any of my slabs, even the old smaller Anacs and Pcgs rattler holders. That somebody not made a universal slab storage box like that unbelievable. I kept mine glad I did.

    I sell 3D printer adapters on eBay so rattler slabs fit in a modern PCGS box. Message me if interested.

    They also work great for soap bars!

    I use these as well
    The seller has his name stamped on the bottom usually and is on Instagram. My daughter buys them for me.

    Amazing... I just lay down the slabs that don't fit, in another box. Not afflicted with OCD.... :D;) Cheers, RickO

    "In recent years an active hobby of collecting holders has developed in numismatics, placing a market value on the holder — not necessarily the coin inside. "

    OK we may all have a problem here :D

    If you had a Gameboy and Super Nintendo growing up. Kind of reminds me of the Gameboy game/Nintendo game adapter. :D

    These are the inserts I sell on eBay. Not quite as snug as the individual inserts shown above but work nicely for 20 coins.

    Why not make them with windows? That way, you would be able to see the coin without removing it from the adapter.
