[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 3655806, member: 101855"]I have purchased coins in the newer slabs that are perfectly okay. Just like it's always been, you have to pick out the better material. Here are a couple of examples that in in the new "thick slabs." This 1864 Bronze cent is in an MS-65, R&B holder. [ATTACH=full]982478[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]982479[/ATTACH] This 1864-L is in an MS-64 R&B holder. [ATTACH=full]982480[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]982481[/ATTACH] and this 1936 Satin Finish Proof Nickel is in a PR-67 holder, right where it should be. [ATTACH=full]982482[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]982483[/ATTACH] I have bought so many coins in new holders that i've had to switch to PCGS holders because the new PCGS slabs are too thick to fit "straight on" in the NGC boxes, which I prefer.[/QUOTE]
