I have this slabbed coin from ANACS that is smaller than my other slabs (ANACS, NGC, PCGS). The picture below shows the sizes. The ANACS is shorter and not as wide as the others. Because of this, it will not fit in the slab storage case (see picture). Has anybody come across this problem, and if so, do you have a suggestion that will work so that I can store the coin with the other key dates I have in the case? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
On the few occasions where I've had an old small ANACS holder like that- and I also use a travel case similar to that- I just put the slab into a 3x4" poly bag to keep it from getting scuffed up, and just stick it in the slot, where it'll sit in there kind of loosely. If there are coins on either side of it, it's not gonna move around too much, though it will jiggle a bit due to the loose fit in the slot. Essentially what I'm saying is just stick it in there and don't fret about it too much. But I realize that's not the answer you came here for. You could also put it in a small envelope and fold the envelope to the right size.
Yep. I've seen folks who have slab albums use foam weather stripping to make a sort of gasket so the small ANACS holders will fit into their album pages without rattling around.
I only have two boxes for coins, but they don't have dividers. I use cardboard ones. Works for me mostly.
