Largest coin diameter possible for a standard PCGS slab?

Would somebody be so kind as to tell me what the maximum permissible diameter is for a coin in a standard PCGS slab? I was able to determine that it's 45mm across the street, but I don't know if it's the same here and I have been unable to locate the information on the PCGS website. Any assistance will be appreciated.

    What's the width of a Pan-Pac $50 octagonal from vertex to vertex across the center? This seems to be the limit. A quick call to customer service would probably give you a more definitive answer.

    The ATB 5 oz pucks are pretty big.

    I think it's in the 42-43mm vicinity. There's one of my 17th century thaler in an NGC holder that PCGS said wouldn't fit in theirs. image
    When in doubt, don't.

    Not sure if they can handle a Libertas Americana.

    I feel that a American Silver Eagle at 40.6 mm in diameter is the largest for a PCGS regular slab.

    Libertas Americana medals & ATB 5 ounce pucks are seen in the newer over sized PCGS holder.

    just a suggestion- go to the world coin section as to what PCGS will grade and look at some of the European coins and that might give you an idea. I suspect that may be a few world coins larger than a modern US Eagle

    CoinFacts lists the Octagonal PanPac as 46mm but not sure if that's tip-to-tip.
