Will a PCGS slab box holder fit other slabs?

Will a PCGS 20 slab box holder fit other slabs, namely the slabs by NGC and ANACS?

I want to get this box to be more organized, and getting NGC and ANACS-specific boxes will only mean more space used, which I don't want to do.

Here's the box I'm referring to:

NGC slabs will not fit in it. I don't know about the blue or yellow ANACS slabs.

Ngc slabs will go in but the lid won't close. You can use rubber bands to keep on. New ngc won't fit. As new pcgs won't fit in ngc box

 

Thanks everyone, I better get something else like a Whitman's box.

 

The cardboard shipping boxes used by NGC are handy for storing all slabs. NGC typically uses a 20-slot and 50-slot box. If you know a dealer in your area who frequently submits to NGC, you might be able to get some for free.

NGC box fits PCGS slabs and ANACS. The new PCGS slabs won't fit. IMO, kind of typical of PCGS, they don't play well with others.

 

You gotta be cool like me and get those boxes that actually hold the small white holder ANACS coins. I probably own 10 now.

 

Some PCGS slabs fit NGC boxes but the majority don't. PCGS boxes are useless for NGC slabs. I quit fooling with it and buy both types now.

 

The only PCGS slabs that I found to not fit in NGC boxes are the original small rattler holders. They don't fit in the blue PCGS box any better. I just put them in the middle of the box.

I purchased both PCGS and NGC boxes in the beginning, but found the NGC box to be more flexible, so I only buy those. I also bought a couple intercept shield boxes. One with the slots and a double wide with no slots. They work well but are more expensive.

 

@GDJMSP , NGC no line fatties don't fit well in the single row slotted intercept shield boxes. If you want to get one in, you need to put it in the middle and the box bows a little.

 

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I'm late to the party on slabs and slab storage. Shocking that different storage boxes are needed...kind of forces one into making other purchase decisions where coins are involved.

Doug, can you get an updated link? The one in post #11 is dead, as could be expected.

 

If you are looking for NGC and PCGS boxes, a local show might be a cheaper way of acquiring some. Part of their price online is the cost to ship. At bigger shows I've even heard people mention that PCGS/NGC leave behind a bunch of boxes for people to take when they are ready to head out (not sure if it's still the case). PCGS also ships certified coins back in a box (NGC and Anacs use a generic cardboard box).

And the link likely went to one of these boxes:

Thanks @ddddd but the prospects of a local show are not very good, and my advanced age makes travel almost impossible.

 

Nope, and an NGC box won't fit many PCGS slabs. And a Whitman box just doesn't fit any of them.

Put PCGS slabs in a PCGS box, put NGC slabs in an NGC box. Super annoying, but que sera sera

 

Kind of like when that Nilsson guy sang about putting the lime in the coconut back in the 70s.

I'm going to take it on faith that @GDJMSP knows a thing or two about this coin storage stuff and I'll give one of those a try.

 

PCGS and NGC are competitors, not bosom buddies.

 

I remember reading in John Scully's biography back in the 80s that when he, Scully, was able to get Coca~Cola to give up the unique shape of its bottle to compete with Pepsi in the 12-ounce aluminum can market, Pepsico's market share made huge advances. It didn't help that Coke was to make that blunder on New Coke, but it was the packaging itself that got it done for Scully. Gasoline tank filler holes are pretty much equal, too, as are the milk containers that you see in your local grocery store.

From what little I've read about that Intercept Shield box since finding this old thread, it would seem to me that one's preference for red or blue over white would have to be the deciding factor—that and one's possible allegiance to one company over the other, just as in the old days of Ford and Chevy men.
