ANACS does have boxes for their slabs, but getting them can be difficult. About the only time I have seen them is at a show ANACS is attending,...
Not as much as he hoped. He originally advertised to buy them at $500 later raising the offer to $600. Not so much in order to get more of them...
And yet how many times do we get people coming to coin forums asking "It says (some grade) Details. What does that mean?"
