I would love to hear a review from anyone who has received these boxes. I am really thinking about getting a few. Does the 30 coin box hold the coins just like the 20 coin box (i.e., straight up and down with no slant)?
They're nice-looking boxes, but are they good for long-term storage? I've read articles in Coin World that talk about the possible long-term effects of improper storage. Doesn't most wood contain chemicals that can leach out, turn to a gaseous form of sulfuric acid, and damage coins? Are PCGS holders sealed well enough to prevent this? Or perhaps cherrywood is less acidic?
Are there any chemists in the group that can shed some light on this? If there's little chance of harming my coins, I'd like to order some of the boxes, but if they're detrimental, I'll pass.
Good point....I often wonder that myself. I remember I used to worry about this stuff when I kept me raw coins in stapled 2X2's....but now that I have moved on to PCGS slabs....I still find myself wondering if a coin could ever turn from environmental conditions OUTSIDE of the slab. I never brought this up either...because I did not want to sound like a worry wart. Has anyone ever addressed this??? One would think that PCGS would not sell such a case if it had a chance of harming our coins. Plus, didn't they give these away as prizes for some of the top sets in 2004????? Your comments would be appreciated....
I just got my boxes. They are very, very nice. They stand up straight, for those confused by the pic. They are excellently packaged and shipped, as well. I am happy.
I have enough coins to buy multiples of the 20-slot or the 30-slot box (six 20's or four 30's to be exact). Per coin, the 20 holder is cheaper ($1.50 per slot) than the 30 holder ($1.67 per slot). Is there an advantage of the 30-slot box over the 20-slot box?
... and, probably ease of transportation (for the thirties). I know it seems like "reverse marketing" with the larger volume item selling for more "per", than the smaller. I noticed that too, but, I think for most sets, the thirty seems like a more "use-able" product, hence the pricing... ... and then there's that all-important, and really cool pcgs logo...

OK, I will take 6 of them. Where do you want me to send the $60?
