USArmyParatrooper Pillar of the Community United States 1283 Posts	Posted 03/29/2007 10:56 am Current Slabs: In my opinion ANACS has nice looking slabs, PCGS is OK, and I don't care for the white encasing of the NGC slab. I think clear is the way to go. You get a much better view of the coin and to me it looks nicer overall. I wish NGC would follow suit. IMO they're as rock solid as PCGS, and their graded coins are easier to find and less expensive. Report this Post to the Staff

Ferret Lord Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 03/29/2007 11:18 am The ones I like aren't even from a grading company. I saw them a while ago and cant remember who the heck makes them. They are for you to put coins in yourself. the one thing about them was there was a small area on the top edge of the slab to insert info about the coin like denom. date and mint mark. You could read them without taking the slab out of the box so you didnt have to search to find the coin you wanted. just read the label without pulling them. They came in all the needed sizes. I wish I remembered who made them... hint, hint, hint to anyone that knows. Report this Post to the Staff

TwoKopeiki Pillar of the Community Czech Republic 803 Posts	Posted 03/29/2007 3:56 pm I'll throw my vote in for ANACS. They have very ergonomically-correct slabs. ~Roman Report this Post to the Staff
Stephen420 Valued Member United States 411 Posts	Posted 03/29/2007 4:02 pm I totally agree with USArmyParatrooper: I think ANACS new blue slabs are the best, PCGS second. I always liked PCGS but ANACS "new" holders are slimmer and the slabs let you see the edge of your coins. I also don't like NGC slabs. A good percentage of the coins I've seen and/or owned in NGC slabs are not seated properly and it looks very careless. Report this Post to the Staff
hadleydog Pillar of the Community Canada 1267 Posts	Posted 03/29/2007 6:10 pm Personally, I like pcgs the best followed closely by ngc. Don't give a hoot for the old anacs slabs (too small) and I find the new anacs blue insert kind of cheesy. The best presentation I have seen yet is GSAGuys toned Morgan collection. The coins are all housed in capitol plastic holders, and you are able to simply enjoy the coins without glancing up to see what the stupid label has to say. Really refreshing.
