NGC Box

PCGS is selling their boxes at $5+shipping on their website.
Couldn't find NGC boxes on their webpage - only on eBay, Amazon, etc.

What's a real price for NGC Box?

Brand new in sealed package I paid ten dollars for one.

 

Get a bunch of coins slabbed, and they'll arrive packaged in one.

Other than that, I have no idea.

I do know that I can buy PCGS boxes for a buck each, but NGC are going for way more than that.

 

I've seen them from anywhere between $9.99 and $12.99 locally.

 

Normally I get mine on ebay, Local coin dealers are too high or dont have them. 7.99 and up

 

I found the online supply site I was thinking about that has a pretty good price:

http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/product/intercept-shield-pcgsngc-track-box.html

 

NGC has an industry affiliation with the ANA who (on their web site) have a Dealer Directory for anyone's use.

The ANA web site also has a menu of options under the Shop at Money Market tab on the main page. Select, Coin Storage Supplies, this links to Wizard Coin Supply > NGC Plastic Slab Box 20 Coin.

There you will see the MSRP* price for the box is $13.00 each and Wizard's retail price (minus shipping) is $9.75 each for 1-5 units, $9.10 each for 6-29 units, $8.67 each for 30+ units.


* Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)

=====>

Of course if you shop around, you will find much better price per unit being offered, but that takes a little work, yet others have suggested their prices paid, so it's possible to pay less than the MSRP and Wizard's retail prices.

 

The ones from the link I posted can be used for NGC or PCGS slabs

 

Yes, but those are for Intercept boxes, not NGC boxes and they are sold at a significantly higher cost per unit than the NGC boxes are: $15.95 MSPR / $11.17 Wizard retail, or a case of 24 units for $9.99 each.

As I highlighted in bold from the OPs thread in my reply, I was addressing the OP's question about the 'real price' of the NGC boxes, hence the line of reasoning why NGC doesn't sell the boxes directly on their web site as PCGS does, but rather through an approved supplier, Wizard, who lists NGCs MSRP.

Some coin storage supply web sites go as far as to detail which boxes hold other TPG slabs, which boxes do not hold certain era's of those same TPG slabs as well as which other TPG companies slabs fit in one box but not another. TPGs continually make slight modifications to their slabs dimensions but what they generally always seem to do is try to accommodate that their earlier slabs fit into their personalized boxes with each modification. Still, you will find that some early PCGS slabs do not fit snuggly in modern era PCGS boxes and there is a resultant rattle.

If ultimate conservation is the OP's goal but expense is not an issue (which I do think cost is an issue per the line of inquiry), then the Intercept boxes may be the way for to go for some. :thumb:

 

This is one of the best deals I have found for NGC storage...$10 each (s&h incl).

I cannot find these locally, so I have to buy from the Internet, and besides, these are delivered to my front door in a few days.

Does it really make a difference what label is on the lid as long as it accomodates the slab?

 

Jp'S Corner has them for $8.95.

To some it may be. That wasn't the point of my reply. However, there are very minor issues due to exact dimensions of slabs to that of boxes, such as rattle from loose fits when cross storing slabs or storing old slabs in current era boxes by the same TPG as noted.

I was simply replying to the OPs initial inquiry. In that, price seemed to be an issue in regards to the NGC box. Anything else is your own preference which you offered in consideration to the OP. You are the one who inserted an off topic brand, which incidentally, are particularly sold on the Wizard web site, at a greater retail price.

 

I just bought 10 for $5.50 each about a month ago from a friend of mine. I wonder where he got them.

They came seamed in a case and wrapped in plastic... they were genuine brand new boxes.

 

NGC slabs are too tall for the PCGS box, and the lid will not lock in place. PCGS slabs do not fit in the NGC box because they are too wide.

Here is a little trick I use for the old ANACs slabs. They will fit in the NGC box if you use the foam adaptor that Eagle Coin Holders uses for ANACS slabs in their pages. Place the slab in the foam insert and press it into the slot. It keeps them nice and snug so they don't rattle around. Note: This doesn't work for the PCGS box.

Also worth noting in this regard: Both ICG and the yellow label ANACS slabs will fit (both loosely) in currenct PGCS boxes.

 

I only suggested the ones from wizard because they can accomodate both slabs from two TPGs, as opposed to buying two different boxes for two different sized slabs.

I picked up 3 solid oak file index boxes from an auction the library was having before they moved to their new location. A slight modification to the draws, and they work great for holding my slabs, and proof sets from the mint. $5 for all of them. Took the lining from a couple of old sterling silverware cases to line the draws with, prevents tarnishing, and a thin piece on the bottom of each draw, works great.

 

Maybe it would help if I showed you what I meant. DOH!

Chris

 

He probably got them direct from NGC. See my post a few doors back.

Any wood in immediate proximity to coins, even slabbed coins, is too close to have wood and coins together for me personally.

Wood, especially, old wood no matter what you lined it with is likely to be full of contaminants, sealers: shellac, varnishes, polishes, these continues to gas off as they break down, wood leaches acids over time and any combination of these things MAY affect even slabbed coins ever so slightly over long term storage. Slabbed coins are not necessarily sealed with air tight seals but do shut out most environmental problems. Now you may never experience environmental damages to your coins stored this way and the step you took to lining the drawers may offset this somewhat too. Better silverware cases may be constructed from fruit woods, i.e cherry or pear, etc., not oak type hardwoods, and from my experience silverware does continue to tarnish, even in their lined boxes for plenty of reasons, just at a slower pace. Just something to think about despite the convenience of the draw you have chosen to use.
