Recommendations for best cases/slabs for loose coins?

comma

I have some loose coins I want to protect. Almost my whole collection are in graded pngs slabs, but what do you guys recommend for loose coins? Really looking for the best I can get. I'd be starting with a couple trade dollars.

Preferably something that could fit in a pcgs slab box, but not a necessity.

Thanks!

I've never found anything better than a 2"x 2" box (the ones about 9" long). I put my coins in plastic flips and organize them by denomination and date. If you want to display raw coins then Airtites is your best option. plug the coin in, snap it closed and it's protected.

For special coins, I like to 'self slab'... you can buy blank snap together slabs online.... other than those special coins, I use flips.... Cheers, RickO

I have a heat sealer that seals the safe-flips. And the 2 1/2 " ones fit right into a PCGS blue box.

Thanks guys!
Would any of the plastic slabs work?
I just don't want anything that can harm the coin as I'll be putting pretty valuable coins in these. (they aren't eligible to be graded)
Thanks!

I’m very satisfied with my fleet of Lighthouse Quickslabs.

I like Intercept Shield 2x2s. Store them in a 2x2 box.

Just burn those PNG slabs.
Put them out of their embarrassment

Lighthouse makes two varieties, the Quickslabs (which can be reopened) and the Everslabs which are permanent (they claim they can be opened, but I've never done it w/o destroying the slab).The

The Coin World slabs are also popular and easy to open (they have a finger notch).

There is a brand (I forget which) that uses different color plastic for the inserts, which I always thought was an unfortunate choice.

Most of these sort of look like NGC slabs - curved corners, flat sides.

There are several additional brands available from China through eBay - PCCB is a PCGS style.

Thanks again!
It looks like the coin world premier slabs might fit what I'm looking for best.

Has anybody used these?

Is there any chance of any of these slabs harming a coin long term? Are they inert? Just want to make sure there isn't any way they could harm a coin.

I buy the Coin World Premier slabs by the case for attributing raw coins (mostly Morgan and Peace VAMs). Easy to use and label, and the holders are as inert as TPG holders. I have coins that have been in these for many years and they look fine. The shells are press-fit together and can be opened as desired. They are stacking-compatible with PCGS slabs and fit in the blue boxes nicely. I just wish they'd have kept the black inserts instead of going to the dark green. The Lighthouse slabs are NGC compatible, and will not fit in the PCGS boxes.

Thanks! I actually prefer the green I think

Good thread.
I see Wizard Supply has the Coin World Premier Holders
Somebody please post a pic of a coin in one

I like airtites, don't know how expensive they are these days. I still have a really big box of them I bought on closeout 30 years ago. Lol.

That's also my choice.

I've been seeing more PCCB slabs like this one from @jwitten's thread here:

I bought some of the coin made holders.
Anyone have photos of their coins in these?
