I just want to protect my slabs from getting scratches. If you&#039;ve ever had a scratch or scratches over the coin&#039;s viewing area of the slab then maybe you know what I mean. Scratches over the coin may not bother some, but it does me. <i>And most important, scratches get in the way of taking clear pictures.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had good luck using <b>PlastX</b> to remove scratches but it doesn&#039;t remove them all. It&#039;s best to just prevent getting them in the first place.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
