BCW Display Slabs...

Any feedback on these BCW slabs with foam inserts...?

Seems like a good way to protect cool, cheap coins...

Look almost like what I got to play with it (and use to give coins as gifts, etc).
I like them. They are NOT as professional as PCGS/NGC, obviously, and you will likely get some of them where the foam imprint is "off" in the design, but They are pretty cool for storage.

They are the same size as the old, small, ANACS holders. I like them because: I can do my own labels (so, if you use inventory numbers w/ your coins, you can print that for these as well), NO STAPLES (love that), don't need my own handwriting if I print the labels, protection for the coins, looks nicer than a flip/2x2 when I give them as gifts (which I have done on some).

Thanks for the feedback Bochiman...

I like the small size to and price point...

The 2.5 X 2.5 SAFLIP Brand Coin Flips are .20 ea...

The BCW Display Slabs are .60 ea, or as low as .32 ea in 500 qty...

Plus you can get blank foam inserts ( for stamps ) and cut your own for odd shaped coins...

All kinds of kool stuff you could put in these...

Is this a post or an advertisement??

I like these holders for nicer raw coins which I can print an insert with my business name and my grade on it (not a grading company) They look nicer in my case at a show than say staple 2x2's. This is material which is bullion related or not really worth the slab fee to get graded. Occasionally some will be submitted because I may need a certain quantity to fill the seats on the slab flight. I don't try to seal these as they are nothing more than my own raw coins in a nice, inexpensive holder. They are ideal for material like ASE's and nice coins under say $50.

For a little more you can find the Coin World (PCGS) style. Link
The problem with the BCW slabs is they don't seat the coin well, and no recess for the label. Very cheap looking.

Thanks, I may try them.

I originally had some of the CW holders. I didn't like them for display or use.
If you print the labels out well, you don't have any real problem with the BCW type slabs and, if you like the old ANACS holders, then you may like these. If you don't, then you probably won't.

To each their own and, in my case, the CW holders are not to my liking.

I liked the old Anacs slabs and its a reason I have the BCW ones. They stack nicely and you can stack them up to 6 high in a display case. These are great for collector coins not worth the slab fee which are a bit above 2x2 junk box material. I print out my own labels and have mastered the art of printing them / inserting them in the holder. Once the halves snap together the label stays in place, you don't even have to glue it.

Any coin, whether cheap or very expensive, I would be hesitant to trust to the BCW inserts used that are made of EVA Foam, they contain vinyl(!), but "shouldn't react" to most coins according to the BCW website. To each their own indeed -- a BIG no thanks for me! Properly inert mylar 2x2's are just fine.
