I'm doing research on the colors of the plastic PCGS boxes. Need to know what all the colors are.

xxxx. edited to add xxxno I dont either was not aware of tim's lime green??
also, the retro green is not exactly the same as the old green, side by side you can see the die color difference.
Also, Orange was a job to get, I never sent in the basketball commem's , so I didnt get one, i wasnt about to pay the ridiculous price they were asking, when they came down to about 65.00, I told my wife you want to get me something for christmas I dont have, order me an orange box, she thought I was crazy.
Just recently with the red, I had two orders in at pcgs that were finalizing recently, first order was soley for a customer and he wanted it, next order, top was broke during shipment, but lastly one economy order that was lagging behind had one before they ran out.
Nice colors - But have nothing but red CACG slab storage boxes as they can handle all the TPG slabs accepted by eBay - Anacs, ICG, CACG, PCGS, NGC. I have a really nice ICG MS 70 ASE - really nice coin.
I don't see the bright lime green one that Lakesammman has in his thread here, but I think that's some sort of prototype box or something like that:

Do you count off for spelling too lol
They also made a wood box in the late 90s or early 2000s..It had a rounded top like a coffin.
i tried looking for a pic online and couldn’t locate one, perhaps @Lakesammman can help? I sold him one a few years ago.
They also made a short 8 or 10 slot plastic box in red, and a short box in white cardboard. I can provide a photo of one if you like.
I do not think this is plastic
Wood and leather
I have a couple of those leather boxes. They are bulky for just ten slabs but they're really high quality.

Those leather boxes are for rich collector to showcase their high price coins.
I have a PCGS cardboard box that can hold maybe 40 or 50 holders
That sea green I have, its tims box(lime green) that is super rare, in fact did not even know it existed till this thread. Its got to be a doily box ? one rare bird is all I can say
I had one of those woodencoffin boxes come in with a collection years ago, but Its was too bulky to keep
I do have the mint green version, it's for the 35th anniversary, but I'm missing a couple. I'll figure out what I'm missing in the next week or so.

I actually got mine as part of a PCGS Asia Special Label series. I like them but if I were carrying around coins to show off, I actually prefer the Great Collections case; perfectly nice and WAY easier to carry around.

That GC case is nice. Great price too.
I'm surprised they don't offer it on their website fulltime.
Interesting. I did not know there were so many different colors. Personally, I like the generic 10-count red & blue boxes. They handle every different TPG slab without a problem too.

They also had a black one that did not have the shield before the letters PCGS.
Don't forget the PCGS rattler snakebox!
@davewesen If you read my post again you will notice that i said it was wood…
I know he was asking about the colors of the plastic boxes, i though perhaps he would like to know about other variations along the way..
Thank you for providing a photo tho…
Jim, what colors are the 5th and 7th from the left? Thanks!

I think your lime green is what I call toothpaste. I made my own colors too.

Isn't there a light blue also?
