One of my lots came in an extra-thick NGC slab

Its LxW dimensions are standard, but the thickness precludes me from putting in an NGC box with standard spacing between slots. (I have a large number of the old NGC boxes made from semi-clear plastic.)

Anyone know which standard boxes out there can accommodate this type of slab? The assessed grade is sufficiently high that I won't consider liberating the coin and keeping it raw.

TIA,

    I haven't found any of the plastic boxes with slots that will hold them. I do have some old plastic and cardboard generic slab boxes without the slots that I use for these. You should be able to find them online.

    Thanks. I was thinking this too. I'll probably see what they have at the March Baltimore show...

    Btw, these boxes would be good for raw coins in flips.

    Yes had these when I graded my shooting medals. Stacking them up is the only way..

    It is not the perfect solution, but turn them 90 degrees so that they face side to side instead of front to back.
    At least that way you can keep the in the slab box.
