Does the slab background color change perception of eye appeal.

I was thinking about this the other day. If it does, which color would flatter your coin the most?

  • I would really like a black background for blast white silver and gold....white background for toners.

    nope.

    of course, none of my coins has a slab background

  • Black looks good with proof coinage, especially with DCAM coins.

    I like the clear slabs of PCGS. I can't stand the white NGC holders, but the new opage NCS are nice.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    the white NGC holder accentuates vividly colored coins but i prefer clear holders because i think they help transfer light and that enhances most anything in the holder. it's probably all a mental thing.

    for me i think keets sums it up well

    the best i have heard so far

    also many collecgors/dealers of deep ultra cameo proof coins pre 1915 usually say that ngc holders look better with these types of coins

    sincerely michael

    but overall it is still the coin not the holder

    I prefer the white NGC holders for my toned Peace $ and I also like the white ANACS holders for other toned coins, but the PCGS holders for blast white proofs.
