Limited Edition Ruby Red PCGS Boxes are apparently gone

Shabu92

Just received my submission, received by PCGS on April 10th, this week. I got the traditional black box instead of the ruby red box. It was 4 coins, not a bulk submission. By the terms and conditions, my submission was eligible for the ruby box.

So, if you got the ruby box, congratulations they went fast!

I didn’t get one either.

How could they have underestimated the demand so much? They must know their average submission volume and ordered appropriately. Unless…. No!

No. It's a leap to assume they underestimated anything. They never promised everyone would get a box.

In fact, they very accurately estimated, by clearly stating "while supplies last." They made no commitment to provide them through September 30th.

Seems they knew they'd run out far before then. Because, if that was not the case, they could also have easily stocked and continued to restock in order to meet demand. After all, they never run out of slabs, no matter how high their submission volume is.

They are going for $40+ on eBay. Who'd have thunk.

Well I think the Ruby black boxes are just perfect

The PCGS website seems pretty clear to me:

1) Submissions received between July 1, 2026, and September 30, 2026. Your submission was received April 10, according to you. So, right there you did not qualify to get one.

2) While supplies last...speaks for itself.

Buy the coin, not the box.

As for #1 above, I can confirm it's not always based on submission date because I received several red boxes for orders submitted in May that I received back in July.

I got 4 red boxes with submissions that where delivered at csns, and I just got them back last week

Apparently PCGS still has some?

Capgun

Sent 3 submissions logged in as received 5/20, 2 of which were completed 7/13 and the other 7/17. All three returned in red 40th anniversary red boxes. Could be the completion date is determining factor and not the submission date.

Not if the supply didn't last

Personally, I prefer the blue ones. I have blue PCGS boxes for my US coins, and gray NGC boxes for my foreigns and ancients.

I was wondering about that. I received my order last week from a submission in late April. I opened it to the ruby red PCGS box. I like!

Manorcourtman

I rec'd an order today via Fedex. I rec'd a Red box. My order shipped Tuesday. They still have some apparently. My order was a one coin, variety attribution. Go figure.

SanctionII

I received a coin back from out host yesterday. It was in the Red box.

I like the Red color.

Well, i was going to send a few in to get the Ruby Red Box, but...oh, well.

Can @pcgs_social verify the Ruby Red Boxes are exhausted?

D808LF

I sent a group of coins to PCGS today, we'll see in, oh,...(insert time).

@PCGS_Marketing ?

lermish

Received yesterday.

oih82w8

I may just have to chance it since none of the @PCGS_Moderator @PCGS_Hy @PCGS_Marketing are monitoring this thread.

I got one word for you....Krylon. Peace Roy

@oih82w8 I just received a red box as well. How many people do you need to hear from to believe that they are still available?

Coin Finder

Based on the comments, I would say that they’re still out there somewhere I will say the orange boxes were difficult to find

One more time will force my hand. Thanks!

I received a red box on August 5th.

bob48

My order was 4/1 to 8/14/26 about 94 days this was a economy order received 8/15 in the ruby red box.
I did ask them if my order fell into the NO GRADE ZONE. and could someone push it out of that zone.
And they did!
Would like to see submission times updated to a new time if many economy orders are taking a long time.

TwoSides2aCoin

The red is nice. I hope the Wheat Cents I submitted come back that way, too
They can be in any color box …for that matter

oih82w8

I received my reconsideration submission order yesterday, minus the Red Box. They must apparently be gone. Although i did receive some "extra" filler material.

blu62vette

I received a red box today, walkthrough order. Shipped on Monday.

Manorcourtman

I rec'd a ruby one yesterday on a Modern value order.

Coin Finder

I think they are still out there, I got another red one today September 10th

redraider

I just got a regular submission (2 months) back in a red box!

D808LF

Got a red box Sep 3.

SanctionII

I received a Red Box on Tuesday. My second one.

I like the look of the Red Box better than the black, blue and gold boxes I have received previously. I am going to put my favorite coins into the Red Box, just to...........................

make them even more special

oih82w8

Oh, I see...it must be personal. I picked one up off the bay.

There’s a board member selling them on the BST - he has 5 left as of this AM. Good seller - I’ll recommend him.

Mr Lindy

Thanks for historical PCGS Red Box info !

Apparently not "all non-bulk submissions will receive this special box". I did pick one from the bay.

MrBear

I just got my first two BOM1 orders in two red boxes. Half of my BOM2 order just shipped, so that may also be in a red box. And there's the other half of BOM2, and maybe BOM3 before the end of the month.

Mr Lindy

I got 6 lot cleansed of stickers and straping tape , without box cutter scars off flea bay for $98 w/ tax & delivered.
Arrived couple days ago.
They look nice with gold speckles on a canvas of red.
Seemed a fair trade for a Benjamin.
Some are needing $80 plus delivery for one.

Cuprinkor

I received my first red box from PCGS on Monday, 9/21. At least I have one to cherish.

oih82w8

Congrats to those who received, and apparently are continuing to receive, a Ruby Red Storage box.

MtW124

I received one last month. Very nice looking box. Love the ruby red color.
