Studio lineup of clear acrylic coin display cases — a single-coin slab stand, a multi-slot coin block, and a wall-mount coin rack, each holding graded coins and capsules

Coin Display Cases

Graded slabs (NGC/PCGS), Air-Tite capsules, and bullion bars — built to your exact profile. Not off-the-shelf.

A coin display case is a clear acrylic holder built to the exact dimensions of a graded-coin slab, a coin capsule, or a bullion bar — so the coin sits snug, fully visible, and protected from dust and handling. Wetop Acrylic manufactures these custom coin cases in single-coin desktop stands, multi-slot coin blocks, bullion-bar displays, wall-mount coin racks, lockable counter cases, and Air-Tite-compatible capsule blocks. NGC and PCGS slab profiles, standard capsule diameters, 1oz to 1kg bars, UV-filtering acrylic, felt-lined bases, magnetic, lift-off, or sliding covers, and laser-engraved or UV-printed branding. MOQ 50 pieces.

Find Your Coin Case Format

A coin display case comes in six core formats: a single-coin stand for one graded slab or capsule, multi-slot coin blocks for a set, bullion-bar displays for 1oz through 1kg bars, wall-mount coin racks for a gallery wall, lockable counter cases for high-value graded coins and bullion on an open counter, and Air-Tite-compatible capsule blocks with circular recesses sized to standard capsule diameters. Every format is cut to your exact profile — NGC or PCGS slab, capsule diameter, or bar size — with UV-filtering acrylic available on all of them.

What Is a Coin Display Case?

A coin display case is a clear acrylic enclosure cut to the exact dimensions of a graded-coin slab, a coin capsule, or a bullion bar — so the coin sits snug enough that it can't rattle or fall, stays fully visible along with its certification label, and is shielded from dust and handling. NGC and PCGS are the two main coin grading services, and their slabs differ by a few millimeters, so a custom case is sized to one profile rather than a generic "fits most" holder that leaves the piece loose.

NGC, PCGS, Capsule & Bullion — Dimensions Reference

A coin display case has to be cut for a specific profile, because graded slabs, capsules, and bullion bars all differ in size. NGC and PCGS slabs run about 8mm thick but differ a few millimeters in footprint; capsules are sized by coin diameter (40mm, 39mm, 32mm, 27mm are common); bullion bars range from a slim 1oz bar to a 30mm-thick kilo bar. The table below is our working reference for slot sizing — we confirm exact dimensions against your actual piece during sample production.

Dimensions are approximate, widely-published industry figures for current slab, capsule, and bar generations as of 2026. Sizes shift with redesigns and variant issues — send us one piece and we measure it directly before cutting.

Item Approx. Size Case Slot (with ~1mm clearance) Notes
NGC graded-coin slab ~82 × 58 × 8mm ~9mm wide × +1mm L/W One of two main graded holders
PCGS graded-coin slab ~85 × 56 × 8.5mm ~9.5mm wide × +1mm L/W Differs slightly from NGC — a slot cut for one won't grip the other perfectly
Air-Tite / capsule (round) sized by coin diameter recess = capsule OD + ~1mm Common 40mm (1oz silver rounds / ASE), 39mm, 32mm, 27mm
1oz bullion bar ~24 × 41 × 3mm ~4mm channel × +1mm Small; light — 3mm acrylic is fine
10oz bullion bar ~48 × 83mm channel + rest step Heavier — step up gauge under load
1kg bullion bar ~48 × 85 × ~30mm deep channel × +1mm Real weight — 5-8mm acrylic, wide rest base

Approximate values for standard slabs, capsules, and bars. Oversized and variant holders differ. Confirmed during sample production before bulk.

Why One Case Can't Universally Fit All Coins

Cross-section comparing an NGC slab, a PCGS slab, and a round capsule seated in acrylic display-case recesses. Side and top cross-section showing a roughly 8mm-thick NGC graded-coin slab seated snug in an acrylic slot with about 1mm clearance, next to a roughly 8.5mm-thick PCGS slab whose slightly different footprint will not seat perfectly in the NGC-sized slot, and a round capsule seated in a circular recess sized to its outer diameter. The conclusion shown is that each coin display case must be cut for one profile — NGC, PCGS, or a specific capsule diameter. Coin-to-slot fit: NGC vs PCGS vs capsule Each case is cut for one profile — a few millimeters is the whole reason. NGC slab in NGC-sized slot ~8 mm slab (~82×58mm) ~9 mm slot (≈1 mm clearance) Seats snug — no rattle, photographs straight. PCGS slab → NGC-sized slot: off-profile slot sized for ~82×58mm NGC PCGS ~85×56mm — footprint shifts Different outer size — won't seat flush. Capsule in round recess recess = capsule OD + ~1mm 40mm · 39mm · 32mm · 27mm common Round recess sized to the capsule diameter. NGC slab ≈ 82×58×8mm · PCGS slab ≈ 85×56×8.5mm · capsules sized by coin diameter — widely-published figures, confirmed per piece at sampling.
One case, one profile. The few-millimeter difference between an NGC slab, a PCGS slab, and each capsule diameter is why a "fits everything" coin case doesn't exist — we cut the recess to the holder you actually display.

Material, UV Protection & Finishing

A coin display case is built from cast acrylic — UV-filtering or standard clear — in 3mm for single-coin stands and small capsule blocks and 5–8mm for multi-slot blocks, bullion-bar displays under load, and wall-mount racks. Edges are diamond- or flame-polished to a glass-clear finish, recesses can be felt- or velvet-lined, and the cover can be magnetic, lift-off, or sliding. The right combination depends on the coin or bar value, the display environment, and how often the piece is handled.

Air, Tarnish & UV — What Acrylic Actually Does

Straight answer: a clear acrylic case is not an airtight archival seal on its own. Tarnish resistance comes from the coin's own capsule or graded holder plus low-humidity storage — the acrylic case doesn't replace that. What the case does add is real: dust protection, physical protection against knocks and handling, security on an open counter, and, in UV-stabilized cast grade, UV protection for the certification-label color and for toned coins near windows or under bright store lighting. Standard clear acrylic transmits roughly 55% of UV; UV-stabilized cast PMMA blocks about 90-98% while staying optically clear. Wetop sources from both Mitsubishi Shinkolite (premium tier, ≥98% block) and certified domestic Chinese cast UV-grade (≥90% block, cost-optimized) — assigned per project against your spec, all sheets carrying the supplier's published certifications. UV-filtering adds about 15-25% to material cost.

Thickness Guidance

3mm acrylic is fine for single-coin stands and small-slot capsule blocks — stable, clear, cost-efficient at volume. Step up to 5-8mm for multi-slot coin blocks, bullion-bar displays that carry real weight, wall-mount coin racks, and lockable enclosures, where panel rigidity and slot stiffness matter. A 1kg bar dropped into a thin channel will flex it; heavier gauge keeps the display flat and the slots square. We confirm the right gauge during sample approval against your slot count and the weight it holds.

Edge Finishing

Cut edges are diamond-polished (machined optically flat — the premium standard for display) or flame-polished (heat-glossed — a clean, cost-effective finish). Either way the edge reads as glass, not as a frosted saw cut, with a crisp chamfer that catches the light. For enclosed and lockable cases we offer 45° mitered corners that hide the joint line entirely.

Felt-Lined Bases & Covers

The recess a coin, slab, or bar sits in can be lined with dark navy or charcoal felt or velvet — it cushions the piece, kills any micro-rattle, and frames the coin against a matte backdrop that makes it pop. Covers come three ways: magnetic (flush N52 magnets, no visible hardware), lift-off (simplest, sits in a shallow alignment groove), or sliding (a panel running in a milled side track, dust-tight when closed).

Coin Case Formats — In Detail

The six coin display case formats map to how the coins get displayed: one graded slab or capsule on a desk or counter (single stand), a small set lined up (multi-slot block), bullion bars in angled rows (bar display), a coin gallery on the wall (wall-mount rack), high-value graded coins and bullion that need to lock (lockable case), and capsuled coins in circular recesses (capsule block). All are cut to your profile; all can be UV-filtering; all can be branded.

Side-profile cross-section of a clear acrylic single-coin desktop display stand: a solid cast-PMMA base block resting on a counter, with a milled channel cut into the top of the block that grips one graded-coin slab at roughly a 12-degree backward lean so the coin face stays visible. A thin felt or velvet liner on the channel floor cushions the slab's bottom edge and stops micro-rattle, and the front bottom edge of the base is finished with a 45-degree chamfer. The channel width is cut to one profile — about 9 millimetres for an NGC or PCGS graded-coin slab.

An angled single-coin stand in cross-section: the channel is cut to one slab profile, a felt liner cushions the bottom edge, the slab leans back about 12° so the coin face stays visible, and the front edge is chamfered to a glass-clear finish. The multi-slot, bar-display, wall-mount, and lockable formats below build on the same channel-and-liner principle.

Single-Coin / Slab Stand

An angled channel base that grips one graded-coin slab (NGC or PCGS) or a capsule upright with a slight backward lean — the classic coin display stand for a shop counter, a desk, or shooting clean listing photos. 3mm acrylic is standard. Magnetic lid optional.

Multi-Slot Coin Block

2-, 4-, and 6-slot blocks for coin sets — a registry run, a date run, a type set. Each slot precision-cut so the coins sit level and don't shift. Felt-lined recess optional; mixed NGC/PCGS profiles supported side by side.

Bullion Bar Display

Angled channel slots sized to bullion bars from 1oz through 1kg — clean rows for a dealer counter or a vault display. 5-8mm acrylic so the slots stay stiff under the weight of gold and silver bars, with a wide rest base for the heaviest kilo bars.

Wall-Mount Coin Rack / Gallery

Vertical-slot panels that turn wall space into a coin gallery — concealed standoff or keyhole mounting, individual slots so a coin or capsule can be swapped without unmounting the panel. UV-filtering recommended for storefront-window placement.

Lockable Coin & Bullion Case

An enclosed acrylic case with an internal angled tier for several coins or bars and a flush cam or barrel lock — for high-value graded coins and bullion on an open counter where the case has to deter a grab.

Capsule & Air-Tite-Compatible Block

A block with circular recesses sized to standard capsule diameters — 40mm for 1oz silver rounds and American Silver Eagles, plus 39mm, 32mm, and 27mm — so capsuled coins seat flat and flush without forcing them into a square channel.

Who Buys These Cases From Us

Wetop manufactures coin display cases for B2B buyers — coin dealers and numismatic shops, bullion and precious-metals dealers, mints and commemorative-coin issuers, auction houses presenting consignment lots, and protection and accessory brands putting their own logo on the case. Collector clubs organizing a 50+ group buy are quotable too. MOQ is 50 pieces per design. Branded engraving, UV-printed logos, and custom retail packaging are available on any format.

Coin Dealers & Numismatic Shops

Sell display stands and multi-slot cases alongside the coins they stock, and use them to merchandise the piece at the counter. Volume runs 200-5,000 units. UV-filtering, felt base, and laser-engraved shop branding are standard requests.

Bullion & Precious-Metals Dealers

Display 1oz, 10oz, and kilo bars in angled bar racks and lockable counter cases. Heavier-gauge acrylic for the weight, felt-lined channels to protect the finish, and lockable formats for high-value metal on an open counter.

Mints & Commemorative-Coin Issuers

Present commemorative and proof issues in branded single-coin stands and capsule blocks. Custom retail packaging, UV-printed logos, and capsule recesses sized to the mint's own coin diameters, produced in the same run.

Auction Houses & Coin-Show Exhibitors

Present consignment lots and feature coins in a clean, swappable display — wall-mount galleries and multi-slot blocks that set up fast at a coin-show booth and read well in catalog photography.

Collectors (via Group Buys)

Our MOQ is 50 pieces, a B2B minimum, so a single case for one personal coin isn't something we run. A collector club or forum organizing a 50+ group buy of identical cases, though, is something we can quote.

Protection & Accessory Brands (OEM)

Order them under their own brand — their logo, their packaging, their slot spec — to round out a coin-protection product line. We build to the brand's drawings; the brand owns the design.

What Coin Case Buyers Say

We needed a counter display that held NGC and PCGS slabs in the same block — different slot widths side by side. Wetop built it so both seat without rattling. The tolerance is tight enough that the slab doesn't shift but loose enough to slide in one-handed.

— Coin Shop Owner, US West Coast, 150-unit run

Our bullion bars kept sliding on the old shelf. Wetop cut angled channels sized to our 1oz and 10oz bars with a felt-lined rest, and now the counter row stays put. The heavier acrylic holds the kilo bar flat without any flex.

— Bullion Retailer, US Midwest, 300-unit run

We ordered UV-stabilized capsule blocks for toned commemoratives on permanent display near a storefront window. Wetop sourced Shinkolite-class material for the run, and we verified the UV block against our own spec before approving. Clarity is excellent and the coins read beautifully.

— Commemorative-Coin Issuer, US East Coast, 100-unit run

We sell branded coin stands with our shop logo laser-engraved on the base. The engraving is crisp and consistent across 500 units, no variation in depth or positioning. Our customers treat them as part of the coin, not just packaging.

What Affects the Price?

Coin display case pricing depends on five factors: slot count and case format, acrylic thickness, UV-filtering acrylic, finishing and branding, and order quantity. A 3mm clear single-coin stand costs a fraction of a 6mm UV-filtering bullion-bar display with felt-lined channels, mitered corners, and a laser-engraved logo. We quote the variables, never a flat price — and we present the cost breakdown so you can choose what to spec up.

Slot Count & Format

A single-coin stand is the entry point. Multi-slot blocks, bullion-bar racks, wall-mount panels, and lockable enclosures use more material and more machining — the more slots and the more complex the case, the higher the unit cost.

Acrylic Thickness

3mm is the budget gauge for single-coin stands and small capsule blocks. 5-8mm is standard for multi-slot blocks, bullion-bar displays under load, and wall racks — heavier material, higher cost, but necessary for kilo bars.

UV-Filtering Acrylic

Adds about 15-25% over standard clear, and blocks 90%+ of UV. For toned coins and certification labels displayed near windows or bright lighting, the UV premium protects the color that carries the value. Available on any format.

Finishing & Branding

Felt-lined slots, 45° mitered corners, magnetic lids, locks, laser engraving, UV-printed logos, and custom retail boxes each add per-unit cost — and each adds resale or merchandising value.

Order Quantity

Unit cost drops significantly above 200 pieces. Most coin case buyers order 200-5,000 units per design — the band where per-unit setup and tooling cost spreads thin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can one coin display case fit both NGC and PCGS graded slabs?

Not the same slot. NGC and PCGS both encapsulate coins in rigid holders, but the two differ by a few millimeters — an NGC slab runs about 82 × 58 × 8mm, a PCGS slab about 85 × 56 × 8.5mm. A slot cut to grip one grips the other imperfectly, so we build each case to one slab profile, confirmed against a sample before bulk. If you display both, we cut profile-specific slots side by side in one multi-slot block, or run separate single-profile designs on one purchase order. MOQ is 50 pieces per design.

Do these cases protect coins from tarnish and sunlight?

Let's be honest about what acrylic does. A clear acrylic case is not an airtight archival seal on its own — tarnish resistance comes from the coin's own capsule or graded holder plus low-humidity storage. What the acrylic case adds is dust protection, physical protection against knocks and handling, security, and — when you order UV-stabilized cast acrylic — UV protection for the certification-label color and for toned coins displayed near windows or under bright store lighting. Standard clear acrylic transmits roughly 55% of UV; our UV-stabilized cast PMMA blocks about 90-98% while staying optically clear. Wetop sources from both Mitsubishi Shinkolite (premium tier) and certified domestic Chinese cast UV-grade, assigned per project against your spec. UV-filtering acrylic adds about 15-25% to material cost.

What's the minimum order, and who do you work with?

Our MOQ is 50 pieces per design. That's a B2B minimum — we work with coin dealers and numismatic shops, bullion and precious-metals dealers, mints and commemorative-coin issuers, auction houses and coin-show exhibitors, and protection and accessory brands putting their own logo on the case. Orders typically run 50-5,000 units per design. A collector group organizing a 50+ buy of identical cases is quotable too. Mixed designs across one purchase order are fine, as long as each unique slot configuration hits 50 pieces.

What acrylic thickness do you recommend for a coin or bullion case?

For single-coin stands and small-slot capsule blocks, 3mm acrylic is plenty — stable, clear, cost-efficient at volume. Step up to 5-8mm for multi-slot coin blocks, bullion-bar displays that carry real weight, wall-mount coin racks, and lockable cases, where panel rigidity and slot stiffness matter. A 1kg bar loaded into a thin channel will flex it; heavier gauge keeps the display flat and the slots square. We confirm the right thickness during sample approval against your slot count and the weight of what it holds.

Can you match my slab, capsule, or bar if I send one, and brand the case?

Yes to both. Mail us one graded slab, one Air-Tite capsule, or one bullion bar, and we measure it directly, cut a sample slot, and test the fit before production. For branding, we laser-engrave logos and shop names into the acrylic for a clean frosted-white mark, or UV-print full-color logos on a panel or base. Custom printed retail packaging is also available, produced alongside the cases in the same order and shipment.

Can you do bullion bars and graded coins in one production run?

Yes. Many buyers order graded coin slab cases, capsule blocks, and bullion-bar displays on one purchase order, one production run, one shipment. Tell us the coin slab profiles, the capsule diameters, and the bar sizes you need — 1oz, 10oz, kilo — and we quote the whole set together. MOQ is 50 pieces per format.

Have a Coin or Bullion Case Design? Let's Quote It.
