Oak Slab Box -- 3 or 6 Slabs

An ideal way to house three or six slabbed coin, this custom-made box is crafted of oak in a rich, dark natural wood color. The lid is hinged securely with two gold color piano-style hinges and stays securely shut with a powerful magnetic closing mechanism. Both the lid and the base hold inserts each of which is made to hold three certified coins. The wood box is lined with black felt behind the inserts. So, the one in the lid can be removed to make a three-coin display or left in to make a six-coin display. The black inserts provide contrast to the coins to be displayed while at the same time snugly holding the slabs in place.

These boxes are manufactured in China by a large US coin promoter.  When their customers spend larger amounts on certified coins, they ship them in a nice display box.  Because the boxes were intended to be "give-aways," efforts were made to keep production costs low.  As a result there are frequently minor defects in the manufacture of these boxes.  Most common are (1) marks or blemishes in the wood that have been recolored with a marker or tool using a slightly different color than the stain used on the wood and (2) imperfect alignment of parts and pieces.  Despite these issues, we like them and they fill an important niche in our offering not served by other brands of boxes.  First, they are really the only true solid wood boxes available and the price is quite attractive compared to the impact of the box.  For coin dealers or promoters looking for an item to ship complimentary with a nice set of coins, these work well.  Similarly, big picture collectors who can overlook an occasional issue in exchange for the overall nice appearance of these solid wood boxes at great prices, will be very happy with them.  Those who are attentive to details and bothered by marks repaired with slightly different colored stains and/or occasional small misalignment of parts will be better served choosing another of our display boxes.
