Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 12/24/2021 2:10 pm I bought this coin from a dealer website. There were scuffed or hazy areas on both sides of the slab. The haze over the eagle's tail on the reverse was especially bad. I read old threads on CCF which discussed slab repair using a product called PlastX. So, I bought a bottle from Amazon. It took some elbow grease but it did fix the problem pretty well. Here are before and after photos. I can recommend this product. It did what I wanted it to do! Report this Post to the Staff

hokiefan_82 Pillar of the Community United States 3641 Posts	Posted 12/24/2021 5:01 pm I've been using PlastX for a while on car headlights and other clear plastics. I first tried it on a TPG slab maybe a year or so ago, and was quite pleased with how much it helped. Member of SPMC, FCCB, ANA and ANS.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 12/25/2021 09:40 am I'm not a plastic collector so I'd have simply take the coin out of the slab. Report this Post to the Staff

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 12/25/2021 11:26 pm I use S100, the motorcycle windshield polish. Same thing and end result, no more scratches. An added tip, if you haven't already, a Dremel with a buffer attachment works excellent for the stubborn scratches.
