Sharkman Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 05/13/2020 01:39 am This isn't really a TPG question, it's a TPG slab question. I couldn't figure anywhere else to put it. (Help, Moderator?) I have several TPG slabs with scratches, or worse, scuffs. I only notice the ones over the coin, but some scuffs obscure or distort features. I have never understood how they got that way. Based on accidentally knocking a few on a hard floor 3 feet below, the slabs seem hard as nails. I have never actually damaged one. Unfortunately, many prior owners of my slabbed coins have not had the same good experience. I was just reading an article on coin photography in Penny-Wise, the journal of the Early American Coppers society. It recommended using Slab-Renew to repair damage and yield better pictures. I haven't previously heard of this product, but if it works I've got plenty of places to use it. Any comments on this product? I don't want to make things worse. I am very bad with my hands and would not want a product that is difficult to use. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

I use Plast-X, available at Amazon -- it works well for light scratches and lines; less well for deeper gouges. Here's a before/after comparison for one of my pieces: Report this Post to the Staff
