<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 7859021, member: 103207&quot;]I can barely make out where the scratches on the slab and yes they would bug me.&nbsp; However, I&#039;m not incline to mess with the slab or send it in for it in to PCGS to replace it.&nbsp; I&#039;m not into slabbing modern coins of any type so I don&#039;t know the value of the 2015 SAE in proof 70 but, I think it&#039;s safe to assume there are a lot of them out there.&nbsp; I don&#039;t even think the signature is nothing more than a copy of his signature.&nbsp; So to send it in for a new holder may not be worth the effort.&nbsp; If the signature is real and it makes a difference to you do you could ask if they could put the label from this slab into the new holder.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t cracked out a coin in a long time but, in the past the label wasn&#039;t glued in and I don&#039;t think label size has changed.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A lot of times the cause of the scratches is miss handling by a dealer.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen at many shows where a dealer would literally toss a slabbed coin across his table to a potential buyer. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the retainer ring in the slab I don&#039;t know what would cause that unless your dealing with a counterfeit slab or something very unusual happened after the coin was slabbed.&nbsp; Very strange![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
