EagleRJO Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) I have a few raw half dollars that I want to put in easy-open holders/slabs for protection, similar to the attached. But I am having some trouble finding any for mid to late 1800s which are 30.6mm in diameter. Coin size goes from 30mm to 31mm with no apparent half size. Any suggestions where I can get slabs that are sized for those 30.5mm coins? P.S. They don't need to be multi-tang edge view like the attached, and could be the older style full circle gasket type as long as they are a white color or clear and sized for a 30.5mm coin.

Mr.Bill347 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) I like the Lighthouse slabs with white inserts. They are a little shorter but work nice. they are nearly the height of a TPG slab, seal nice, and come as black inserts from Wizard Coin supply. https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/index.php?p=catalog&mode=search&search_str=Lighthouse+half+dollar+slab https://www.littletoncoin.com/shop/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=29555&productId=232292&referralCode=WRB?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces-across-google&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjIKYBhC6ARIsAGEds-KBmKrfotAq6Zl5MyKNynnfnLFX8JG34gT3bLpLn1fduX3wEKfpUzUaAn7ZEALw_wcB a little pricier version. https://www.google.com/shopping/product/1?q=lighthouse+half+dollar+coin+slabs&rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS865US865&hl=en-US&biw=768&bih=909&tbs=vw:l&prmd=sinv&sxsrf=ALiCzsagb0OX7As0mglLPui-tujGYRQheQ:1661043435705&prds=num:1,of:1,eto:16173562750189322545_0,prmr:1,pid:16173562750189322545,cs:1 white everslab 30mmhttps://www.hobbiesdepot.com/supplies/5-Lighthouse-EVERSLAB-30mm-Graded-Coin-Slabs-1oz-Gold-Maple-Leaf here is a nice 31mm slab on EBay for 30.5mm Edited August 21, 2022 by Mr.Bill347 JT2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleRJO Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) The first two have the black holders which I don't like, and the last is the PCCB slabs I posted above which I do use. There are better prices than that, and I can usually find them for about $20 for a 10-pack w/ shipping. PCCB and Ursae Minoris are similar, but neither brand has the in-between size of 30.5mm. For a half size coin (e.g. mid to late 1800's half dollars at 30.6mm), I have found that you sometimes have to force the coin in the smaller coin holder (e.g. 30mm coin holder) and for the larger size coin holder (e.g. 31mm coin holder) it is a little loose and you can end up with something like the old PCGS OGH "rattlers". Thats why I was looking for a coin holder like the pic I posted that can be ordered for a 30.5mm coin. Edited August 21, 2022 by EagleRJO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
