We have the new sleek Black box hitting from our host. Previously blue was the norm and of course the original Green (not counting the early original box of course). So what’s your favorite? What color would you have picked? Personally I would have gone with a deep Purple since Purple is color of royalty and coins are the hobby of Kings! What’s your thought?

The original rattler boxes in black were cool.
I like the smoke colored transparent ones.
The new black one are fine for me.
I like the new black ones...a clear one would be nice. Oh...I do believe stamp collecting is (was) the hobby of kings
.
Take care...CC
That's a great idea!

What's old is new again:
Black was nice enough the first time around. Nice to see it come back.
We need a tie dye version. Or purple. I like purple.

Umm......
If your submission is primarily one metal over another the box should be the color of the coins.
I vote for copper, silver and gold boxes! 😳

Color me old fashioned.
I love my green boxes and would love to get a few more.

I agree with @Swampboy.... I like the green boxes and fortunately have a good supply. Gold coins look very nice with the green....
Cheers, RickO
Green as well

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
I like they way the different colors contrast with the metallic colors of coins.
Black for Au
Green for Ag, Pt, and Pd
Blue for all others
My choice would be a box that can hold both NGC and PCGS holders like the NGC boxes used to be able to do. The new, thicker PCGS holders can now only go into NGC boxes cadicorneted. You can’t put the lid down on PCGS box when an NGC slab is in it.
Blue
I would just like one that everything fits in.
Red for the hot coins like those on great collections with a flame next to it.

I like all of them, rattler boxes are my favorite...

Rattler boxes are great. There is nothing like opening a slab box with 20 Rattlers in it.
For my other stuff I prefer the box to match the color of the slab insert.

Either or works for me
Transparent boxes would really nice!

Agreed! Something like that would be outstanding!
What if someone made slightly taller, transparent lids to fit the PCGS box bottoms?

Green !!!
Yep - agree - green for me!
I prefer the green one. I have 10 of them and glad to have them.
Later, Paul.
That's not a bad idea.
Stashed away in the SD Box...............................they all "look like a baboon in a closet at midnight",
any color is fine with me.

That would be cool. A slightly smoked color and the black bottom.
Not sure if they are my absolute favorite, but I like my white styrofoam NGC boxes.

I know I still have Red NGC boxes available lol
The solution is obvious.... RAINBOW boxes....sort of like the old tie-died shirts....yeah, that's the ticket...
Cheers, RickO
I got a 10 coin Chinese knock-off on eBay that I like.
Very difficult to find,,,especially if nicely preserved!
Vantablack would be cool
I prefer a plastic Medium Cherry Pattern coffin
Color of the boxes doesn't matter much to me as long as they are filled with "my" coins.
I like the idea of 10, but what material is that made out of?
Black works nicely
@ms70 if you like boxes of 10, these work fantastic! Perfect size for all TPG slabs.
“Black, Blue, Green? What’s your choice box”
Yes.
ms70, I do not know the ingredients of the box of 10. It is hard and odorless.
Any color as long as the box is full!
I got lucky as unbeknownst to me when I moved to my current home, my new neighbor was a longtime dealer in coins and I grew up reading his advertisements inside most of the known numismatic magazines. He took a liking to me and gave me one, he has several and when I told him there would likely be collectors who would pay for those he was shocked. A good coin dealer and a great man.

I find it odd that they change colors at all.
I think the green ones are great.
I think the blue ones are great.
I think the black ones are great (but they seem to attract dust like a magnet.)
at the risk of being banned I will state that I would choose any color NGC box before any other, for obvious reasons.
