[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2921956, member: 69760"]I have a huge 65mm medal that I was thinking of getting graded by NGC, and I saw the option to add a Scratch-Resistant Holder for $5 on the form. I Googled it but I can't tell the difference, mostly because the slab's outer shell is all clear! NGC's website doesn't really show it any better either. Does anyone have experience or have a personal photo comparison of the regular and scratch-resistant slabs?
