    I don't know who makes them, but I use ammo boxes with silica gel packets and works great......I've seen the boxes you refer to, but the price is too high......ammo cans at the army/navy surplus store....$6-8..............

  • The mint did sell boxes to hold them on a couple of occaisions but both times they underestimated the demand and sold out quickly. Then for some reason they haven't bothered to restock.

    The boxes are a neat Idea, but what about the Quaters program extending to include PR, Guam, DC etc.? You will need an 11 slot box!

    I have a few of the original ones from the Mint (in mint condition). I have three of the large blue ones for regular clad proof sets and three of the small blues ones for state quarter proof sets. If anyone has any interest, let me know.

    Thanks,

    WH
