NGC Oversized Holder

What do you all think about NGC's oversized holder? Do you have any coins or medals that have been slabbed this way (or one of their older style oversized holders). How do you store them?

I have five of the largest size for my medals that are 63.5mm (4) and 76mm (1), and ten that are used for high relief medals that were struck for the ANA National Conventions.

they made a 35/36 ounce silver panda coin?

 

I have been slabbing coins, klippes, and jetons (if problem free and uncirculated) only. I feel like those all make sense to have graded.

I do have a lot of medals, some of which are quite valuable. For larger medals, it's kind of a pain to store them and it makes taking them out to look at them a chore. I wouldn't mind having them slabbed to protect them and make them stackable and easy to view. Having said that, it seems silly to grade them, as grading doesn't mean anything to the market for classic European desk medals.

If NGC had some sort of oversized holder product that only included encapsulation and identification that was cheaper, I'd seriously consider it.

I have just this one oversized holder at the moment. There isn't much out of what I slab that doesn't fit in the standard holder.

 

Z5 and Z10 Air tites are 76.81mm diameter and 3.84mm/7.26mm thick, respectively. They're designed for 5 and 10 oz bullion coins, but might work for medals, especially if you just want them to be stackable and don't care about a perfect fit.

 

I don't have many, but I wrap them in bubble wrap and then put them in a plastic storage container. Both of my Hungarian Klippe's are in these kind of holders along with a few medals.

 

I like how they made the little cut-outs in the jelly-ring to accommodate the corners of that square piece.

Here's a medal in an NGC biggie-slab:

Here's the reverse:

It looks a lot like this medal released by the Japan Mint around the same time:

 

@jaceravone has some of these you guys need to see.

 

NGC keeps changing the sizes/dimensions of their holders that I can't keep track. I guess it is needed, but I have three different types of holders for the same medal because NGC keeps changing them. So what do I do???? Do I end up paying nearly $100 to reholder the odd ball two holders or just keep them all different.

 

If the holders they are currently in get the job done, then what would be the point of having them all reholdered? Unless you're one of those collectors who needs to be medicated for OCD and can't stand having some plastic holders that don't match the others.

 

Yea but it's not like the difference between generations of regular slabs. It's not just cosmetic changes. The oversize slab redesigns have consisted of the slabs themselves being redesigned.

 

Trust me, I know -- I have some "portrait" and "landscape" versions of the bigger NGC slabs. But I still have zero desire to resubmit for new slabs. The plastic size, shape, etc. is secondary to me. I just want my bigger medals protected from clumsy people (i.e., me).

 

They look kind of cool in oversized holders!

 

Hello everyone my name is Bill and I am new here. I have the new very thick holders that will not fit into any of their boxes. These were for my high relief Canadian coins. Any ideas. Bill

 

They should fit in the regular boxes if you put them in diagonally, using a couple rows. Same with the newer PCGS slabs.

 

In other words they will not fit in the designed slots? Bill

 

Correct, because what you call the "Designed slots" are not designed for the fat double thickness slabs. The boxes are designed for the regular thickness slabs, which make up probably 99.9% of slabbed material.

 

Thanks for the info.

 

Bill, if you look at my first post, you can see that I have six of the thicker slabs for my high relief ANA medals. These medals are part of a 42-medal order that I submitted to NGC. When NGC sent them back to me, they were in a 50-coin (25 side-by-side) shipping container. What NGC did was remove three of the dividers so the thicker medals would fit.

The NGC shipping box that holds 20 coins would work for 10 medals by removing every other divider.

Thanks for that info. I like to keep my holders scratch free and I h

Do they just snap out? That's a great idea. I just have to many coins and need some more boxes to do that.
