<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 911168, member: 13650&quot;]Nah.&nbsp; PCGS doesn&#039;t allow you to see the coin any better.&nbsp; It&#039;s surrounded by a &#039;somewhat&#039; clear, rubber ring that is still cloudy.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have broken a few out for albums but generally frown on that practice.&nbsp; I keep the label with the coin if I do it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I prefer the NGC slabs and really like the edgeviews.&nbsp; I don&#039;t like their old holders, but I do wish all my slabs were edgeview.&nbsp; &nbsp; If I really like a coin that I may not find again, the slab makes no difference to me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I like NGC because of the new edgeviews which do allow you see the edge and their special label designations look really sharp.&nbsp;&nbsp; For example, the first spouse labels, the Lincoln commem silver dollars,&nbsp; the coins from the USS Republic shipwreck recovery (showing the ship), the 2006 ASE reverse proof 20th anniversary, etc, etc....It sounds like a lot but they really don&#039;t do the special labels for much.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; There isn&#039;t a lot you can do to make a slabbed coin look better in presentation, but NGC accomplished it.&nbsp; &nbsp; All the PCGS labels are the same.&nbsp; &nbsp; I&#039;m sure some people don&#039;t care, but I appreciate the added uniqueness. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Also think the star designation is nice.&nbsp; I often search ebay for &quot;NGC star&quot; just to see what premium stuff is on there that might interest me.&nbsp; Can&#039;t do with PCGS.&nbsp;&nbsp; I only have a few PCGS slabs, and they&#039;re fine.&nbsp; But they get the 2nd place ribbon from me.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
