PCGS just changed color of their boxes from BLUE to BLACK. (edited to correct color)

BOOM!!
No more cartoon colors. We're in full Black tie mode.

Mickey Mouse and McScrooge duck = Blue

Classy and professional. 007 Bond James Bond = Black

asheland · August 28, 2019 8:30AM

I’ve got one. They’re nice looking.

BAJJERFAN · August 28, 2019 8:33AM

Now all we need are white, red, yellow, gray, clear, etc. so you can put your Morgans in one color, IHCs in another, or whatever floats your boat.

Great idea @BAJJERFAN . Maybe PCGS is listening.

The next step would be a double box that can hold 40 with 20 side by side.

Who makes the double row boxes that exist already?

johnny9434 · August 28, 2019 10:36AM

they should make a psychedelic one just for special coins

messydesk · August 28, 2019 10:41AM

Umm... Bronze = Black + bad white balance.

I was hoping they'd have a faux carbon fiber pattern finish to them.

Coinscratch · August 28, 2019 10:53AM

So was there any bronze in the box?

For toned coins.

I think so....

CoinRaritiesOnline · August 28, 2019 12:28PM

They're black. Let's not overthink this.

MilesWaits · August 28, 2019 12:45PM

OMG!
Let’s celebrate, more. Classier, but won’t hold a newly whizzed Liberty, though.

Well shucks...sounds like I'm color blind.
Sorry about calling you color blind @CoinRaritiesOnline . mea culpa

Goldminers · August 28, 2019 3:30PM

I see a bronze door, and I want it painted black... No colors in my life, you better turn them black.

Rolling Stones with a minor edit for RB finish...

Overthinking is one of the things we do best around here.

The other is underthinking.

santinidollar · August 28, 2019 3:53PM

Buy the coin and not the box.

Timbuk3 · August 29, 2019 2:49AM

I like it !!!

ricko · August 29, 2019 4:33AM

Green is my preference, though the transparent ones would be great for easy identification... better than labeling each box. Cheers, RickO

Carrying around a green box at coin shows really puts the dealers into a feeding frenzy.

coin22lover · August 29, 2019 4:56AM

Did the blue boxes just jump in value?

Yes, but maybe down the road in a few years.

This color change probably signifies the newer slabs not fitting in the older blue boxe's first slot. imho

Mine looks black! Maybe the gold and blue thing is back.

mas3387 · August 29, 2019 10:27AM

And if lucky enough you get this !!!

Schmitz7 · August 29, 2019 10:33AM

I assume you receive the black & blue box when coins are returned that grade 2-3 grades lower than what you expected.

SeattleSlammer · August 29, 2019 10:54AM

Black is the new Green.

I have PCGS boxes in Blue, Green, Red , Black.

Most dealers refer to their Counterfeit coin containing box as a black box.
