Putting a set together. What are my options??

Postby highroller4321 » Mon Feb 12, 2018 1:25 pm

I am thinking about putting a slabbed set together and am curious what options are available for storing/displaying the slabs.

There is this:

i suppose I could just leave them in the pcgs slab box, but that makes it harder to show the set to people.

Thoughts/suggestions??

How many coins are in the set? Are you sticking with one TPG? Tell me more about the collection.

Depending on how prominently you want it displayed ...

I have a friend in the FBI, and this is pretty close to how he displays his challenge coins: Amazon Link. Don't know how difficult or expensive it would be to have one custom built and/or altered to accommodate slabbed coins.

Thank you for the idea, but that is more like something to be put on the wall. I need something that can still be put in the safe.

Third Party Graded. ie a mix of diff slab styles/ companies .....or all NGC.....or all PCGS.
I'm pretty type A. My set(s) are PCGS only. I will buy coins that I like in other slabs and work them into PCGS if it makes sense to keep set continuity.

48 coins huh? What two states are you leaving out? :lol:

Isabella quarter and Lafayette dollar. :D

Thinking about trying to get 66's on most and 65's on probably the Hawaii and a few others.

It will be PCGS only, since its U.S coins.

Commem short set....there has never been a better time. Lots of super nice material graded at super fair prices. A fun and cool set.

Ok so to answer the original question. Build the set. Keep an excel and once complete have them imaged into a nice poster to hang in your office. As for the coins themselves..... 3 PCGS boxes. Anyone that truley cares to see them will enjoy cycling through as normal.

Looks like they make an album big enough for 54 slabs.
