Once you get going on a project like that, you realize how expensive and long-term it can get. I bought 2 10-packs of those Coin World "Premiere" cases you mentioned in your original post (one set with green inserts for the more flashy silvers and a set with the white inserts for toners). I have to say, those really aren't appropriate for starting a grading service with. They're not flimsy, but the 2 case halves don't fit together as tightly as you might hope they would. A better product would have a true edge-view insert and fit together perfectly tightly. Maybe having a trigger mechanism to unlock the halves. Hard to believe with the size of the hobby there's nobody out there making a truly nice and substantial slab for raw coins.
