    PCGS already came up with this (lame) idea for the GSA Morgans.

    Can I scrub the coin to help make the slab look better?

    I'd be happy to but getting the coins out would damage the slab.

    Will it get to the point where there's just high resolution pictures in slabs to display the coin that is kept safe in another separate slab never to see the light of day? Then you won't even have to risk damaging your coin or the original slab.

    Why do most dealers show such disrespect for slabs. Even the highly respected dealers show little care for handling of slabs. Some install their own labels only for the next dealer to scrape it off. Many 10k dollar coins change hands in damaged holders while these coins are purchased at shows where tpg's can reholder on the spot ! Maybe its just me.

    Here is the most off-brand slab that you will ever see.
    Unique, the only one known, and the most honest grading service in existence today!
    Even Doug may like this one!

    I would probably shell out at least $20 just to have that slab! LOL
