So I sold some PCGS PR70 First Strike Silver ATB Quarters on Ebay. I specifically stated in the add that the holders had scratches but the coins were problem free, no spots or toning. One guy bought 4 and now wants to return them because the slabs had scratches.... LMAO! He said "the coins themselves look great but when you look real close at the slabs they have scratches". So I got to thinking, with the amount of scratched slabs out there, could there be a business oppertunity here??? I'm thinking about having a large slab holder made and starting a grading company that will grade the plastic slabs on the same scale as gemstones..... IF = Internaly Fawless SS = lightly scratched S = Scratched VS = Very Scratched CR = Cracked VC = Very Cracked ARO= Anal Retentive Owner Gee Whizz!!!
Just put the slabs inside larger slabs. The larger slab will carry the grades you designate, as well as preserve the inner slab from damage. GENIUS.
Now This is serious....I think I will one of your First customer If you can GET a GOLD CAC Sticker on that Slabs for Slabs without Coins Scratches Inside of that slab.. Proof 70 Heavy CAMEO plus excellent LUSTER!
Since this is a serious thread, I thought I would add some serious wisdom. You should only buy coins with perfect packaging and a laminated certificate of authenticity. It is really the only way to tell it is real. Budda knows, the Chinese can't fake a NGC slab.
