Title: Poll: clear capsules, rimmed capsules, or slabs? Post by: elianite on June 18, 2014, 02:37:05 AM I am building a physical coin collection (mostly non-casascius, so not worthy of ANACS grading), and am curious what the forums think is the best form for displaying the coins (and potentially selling them in the future)
Im looking into slabs like this: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/5-Acrylic-Coin-Holder-Slab-Style-Case-39-34-29-24-19mm-Hard-Plastic-Display-/111341886714?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19ec7e5cfa&_uhb=1 What would you rather have your coins in?

Hey, Your best bet is to send them for grading. If you dont mind waiting 2 weeks, its about $20 a coin including shipping, and you'll get it back in an airtight slab. If not, whatever you use, you must make sure its AIR TIGHT or else the coin will VERY quickly degrade. Title: Re: Poll: clear capsules, rimmed capsules, or slabs?

Some of the coins themselves are only worth $5 or so, barely worth grading (not to mention never graded before. Im mostly just wondering what is the best 'look' for a collection. As for being air tight, thanks for the tip, I'll be sure they are! |
