Are NGC and PCGS holders durable? Are they pretty stiff or flimsy?

Good to know, thanks. I've never owned one and was curious.

Theyre hard as rocks, you have to put effort into breaking them

Like most things of similar composition, I quite expect TPG slabs to outlast the human race.

They can be scratched. I see some people throw them around, making the
slab ....look bad.

But I do agree they are very durable. Hard to break, hard to get the the coins out.

Since I have never had a slabbed coin, maybe I will get a coin or two of a significant year or a cool coin design. Perhaps my birth year or year of graduation for example. :)

PCGS holders are much more dense than their NGC counterparts.
I've seen much more cracked NGC slabs than PCGS.
