  • I would like to get something like that to house my CC Morgan and Gold Type Set Collection. Did you build it yourself?

    Thanks,

    Ah-ha. Made by Airtite, but not airtight. (See my other thread).

    VERY classy. It might even make my measley collection look valuable. imageimage

    Very nice TD, very, very nice. That's a great way to display your toned dollar collection.

    That looks very nice. I took a gander at the AirTite link and I have a question:

    What is the reflector card for?

    I was seriously thinking about buying one of these boxes but if I am not mistaken you need to mix and match the drawers to accept holders. While this would be an excellent choice for matched registry sets, I don't know from one week to the next what I will buy or what holder the piece(s) will be encased in, if any.

    I decided on a smallish machinists tool box made from solid oak that looks pretty neat and classy, has green felt-lined drawers, and a locking bar. It will fit anything from my raw mercs, wheat rolls, loupes, and any holder without resorting to purchasing custom stuff after the fact.

    The reflector sits under neath the cutouts for the holders. It comes in silver or gold. I guess this only matters if you are using PCGS or ICG or any holder that you can see thru.

    Each box reguires you to use only one type holder. Thus a box is all PCGS orall NGC etc. etc.

    Later toninght I'll try to post a picture with the PCGS holders so you can see how they look.
