I received a shipment back from our hosts today in a Blue Box. When I was at FUN in January I was told by PCGS they were switching to the Black Box; no more Blue. In January I received a bulk shipment back in Green Boxes.
What color boxes are your coins arriving in?
I love them Barber Halves.....

They might be recycling what gets sent to them. I've sent out several submissions in blue boxes and one in a green box. Maybe you got my green box! I have gotten black and blue in return.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
PCGS should make them transparent! That would look awesome, no? Lol

I think a semi-transparent box would look really classy. Like a dark smoked bronze sort of color with black graphics.
Like these glasses:

My last 4 have been Black.
OLD NGC boxes (about 20 years ago) were a smoky brown/black that were semi transparent. I still have a few of these:
Same.
Don't know about current color but all I have are not recyclable, wish they were have to go in the trash that will be around in the 23rd century.
Coin World Premier storage boxes hold 25 PCGS slabs or 25 Coin World slabs. Tops are clear. Of course, they're not free with a PCGS submission.

I have one of those I use to use to carry around coins at shows because it held both PCGS & ngc. Guess what! Now the new PCGS slabs don't fit in it!
I like that old multicolored, swirled plastic.
Sort of like this.

The ultimate high-tech PCGS box would use the new NFC technology in the slabs to let you add a coin to (or remove a coin from) the inventory of the box. The box would then display the inventory on an E-ink display that would have data and power connections to the lower half of the box, which would also house the NFC reader and Bluetooth connectivity to your mobile device, which would be used to relay the NFC info from the slab and the slab info back to the box. Wireless recharging on the battery, which should last a very long time, since the only time the E-ink display is refreshed is when the lid is put on the box.
I expect it would be at least as popular as the Regency holders were at the time, and no more than five times as expensive.

Go figure!

They fit diagonally, 19 to a box, if you load it like this: [///////////////////], rather than this: [||||||||||||||||||||]

I know John...….it's just annoying.
Wait until the doctors figure how to bake the boxes too. Who knows what color they will be!!! 😉
Too dark. I'd like to be able to see the slabs. (not in detail of course, but just all of them lined up).

The picture I posted doesn't really give an accurate picture. I have a full box and I can see the coins all lined up on all sides of the box - top, bottom, and both sides.
Blue bottoms with black tops - anyone want to trade ??

Hmmm... I could package my Prime Number Set that way.

You get it when you order the special Halloween label.

I like the green boxes and have several, but a flag motif (such as posted above) would be awesome. Cheers, RickO
Rats...Now I really-really want an orange one.

There are some really great ideas here- I hope our hosts take notice!
