Interesting. My box, from "over there," is black, but I do recall they offered an orange box for a limited time only, last year. By then, I had graduated to the loose-leaf album, and never looked back. Bonne nuit, all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, I just saw yours are not PCGS brand. I like yours a lot. Yep, all the lids close with all the different slabs inside with no problem. It's some type of generic box. There are no marking on it.

It reads, "Whitman Publishing, LLC." There is a fine global logo bisected by latitudinal and longitudinal lines. I've got one, too. No shame in my game. Give credit where credit is due, I always say. 🐓 , Postscript: As I recall, each TPGS box was custom-made to specification. For lack of a better descriptor, the "generic" was a "rattler." Wanta bet? Nowhere on the box, inside or out are there any markings that read "Whitman Publishing, LLC." Any questions??

Popular Post jimbo27 Posted October 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) I keep all my slabbed coins in one of these cases. They hold 100 coins and I have 3 of them, 2 of which are mostly full. The second one holds Morgans and ASEs Edited October 30, 2022 by jimbo27 Hoghead515, tj96 and Fenntucky Mike 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

physics-fan3.14 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) I pretty much only use the grey NGC boxes. I've tried a bunch of others (PCGS boxes really only fit PCGS slabs, go figure). Whitman made a box that was supposed to be universal, but in reality it just didn't fit anything well. The NGC boxes fit the old PCGS slabs perfectly, but PCGS redesigned their slabs a few years ago to be a bit thicker. Now, I have to angle the slab as shown below. It means I can only fit 18 in a box instead of 20, but I can fit both PCGS and NGC slabs together in the same box. That suits me nicely. I also have some extra thick slabs... those I just angle as well. Edited October 30, 2022 by physics-fan3.14 Hoghead515 and tj96 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoghead515 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I always use those slab protecter sleves also. They fit really good. I like how they have the adhesive flap on them where you can cover the entire slab. Fenntucky Mike and Quintus Arrius 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hoghead515 Posted October 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Im a person with limited space. My gun safe is all I have for now and it dosent have much storage. I plan on getting another safe for my coins and other valuables and sentimentals. Soon as I do I will be able to get better storage boxes. But I really like these here for now.They are perfect for not taking up much space. Downfall is your slabs touch each other. Those plastic sleeves help that problem though. For now they are great for saving room. They will hold the 4 main TPGs' slabs pretty good. You can easily fit 10 slabs in the short ones and 20 in the long. I been trying to keep my Washingtons in order in them by date.
