Message:: [QUOTE="midtncoin, post: 2991902, member: 89569"]Wow, going back to my very first post from nearly 6 months ago but I FINALLY found a solution to storing the current sets.  It took a little elbow grease to custom build something. The current mint sets are bigger than the boxes that JP sells.  So I've been searching for the past 6 months for a box that would fit.  Problem is -- it is next to impossible to find a box to fit those specific dimensions:  6 1/4" wide and 5" tall.  But since the new sets are very close in size to a normal 5x7 photo, I started looking for photo storage boxes.  But again, no such luck.  Searching on amazon and other retail sites showed a plethora of 4x6 photo boxes but nothing for the next size up.  Then I stumbled across a site a few weeks ago that sold specialty photo supplies and they had a box for 5x7's:  Lineco.com.  I ordered the box and, once I got it, found that it would hold the mint sets with about a half inch of space to spare on the sides and the top.  In other words, just a bit TOO wide/deep.  So I found some 1/2" soft foam and lined the insides of the box and now the modern sets fit down in it very snuggly with just a fraction of inch on each side.  I also cut down some thick-stock 5x8 index card tabs to fit as separaters for each of the years. This should work for at least the next 15 years or until the mint decides to go with yet a different format.[/QUOTE]
