Message:: [QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1676713, member: 24633"]I submitted five large medals to NGC at the FUN Show in  January. One of the medals went to NCS, first, for conservation so it  was shipped back to me separately. When the package arrived, I found  that there was a box inside the shipping container, but I was somewhat  surprised by what was inside. I like the way that NGC packaged this  oversized slab. The box, which measures 7-1/2"x10"x2" (about the size of  a good novel) has tabs on one side which insert along the edge to close  it. There is a slab of thick foam (for lack of the correct term)  covering the medal, a slab of foam cut out to the shape of the oversized  slab, and another slab of thick foam beneath the medal for complete  protection. I wish that the others had been housed in their own box like  this one, but they were in a foam sleeve inside a box with slotted  compartments just like an ordinary shipping box for coins except a wee  bit larger.

Perhaps, if they could get a new  supply of them in faux leather with designer colors, I could put labels  on the "spine" and create a new library. I've got a LOT MORE medals I  could add to the set.
