Not sure where to ask this.. need to preserve a medallion

[Didz]

Is there a slab size limit? Coin size limit? Figured I would ask here first. I have a medallion. Its rather large but it has tremendous family significance. If I am not mistaken it was produced at West Point and was presented to my parents there. Its basically a personal memorial for a member of my family. If it was damaged or lost the rest of my family would have my head. I don't want to put in a safe deposit box or a safe. Its not intended to be put up. Its about the size of a tangerine and rather heavy. Im not sure if its made of bronze or brass. Its starting to show signs of wear from people looking at it. I'm thinking of having it encased or slabbed as to preserve it for future family members and to prevent any kind of damage to it. I also want to display it after the fact. Is there any self slabbing products I should look for? Does NGC or anyone else do such preservation? Its something that can't be screwed up or damaged.

The quick answer is yes there is a size limit for the slabs ( sorry dont know it of hand )

Not sure of the size limit but I do remember once reading that they can put larger items in a multi holder even if it is only 1 item.

Humm where do I post or who do I ask to find out. This particular medallion.. My avatar will not be shipped anywhere. I can't run the risk of anything happening to it. I just want a holder at this point. Is there a place online that sells such things?

Probably perfect for your medallion, unless it's larger than 120 mm in diameter.

Another possibility is a custom holder from Capital Plastic. They can handle the large size and can accommodate unusual thicknesses if needed. The holder won't be airtight but it will be very tough and lass liable to damage if dropped. It won't be cheap though. It does have the advantage that you can give them the specifications and they will ship the holder to you. The medal need never leave your possession.

I would go with Capital Plastic for something this important.

You will probably have to call them to figure out all the options and the price.

You could probably design the wording on the holder as well.
