Best Slab??

Who do you think has the best slab? Who's slab scratches the easiest?

I like old ANACS slabs just becuase they were smaller.

SEG slabs are pretty freaking durable though.

I like NGC holders

NumisOxide

SEGS slabs are pretty nice.

to me not 1 in particular, but I do like certain things about all of them...oh if we could only take a little of each and create superslab

hmmmm

The old ANACS slab since it isn't larger than it needs to be. Also, it has the clearest plastic.

ICG scratches the easiest.

SEGS is best, hands down. ICG scratches the easiest.

Clearly, ER is a genius.

I like the old small size ANACS slabs and the SEGS slabs.

ER

Damn, I read your mind.

I agree that ICG slabs scratch the easiest.

Here is sure to be an unpopular opinion: I like the new ANACS slabs the best IF (and it is a very important IF) they could be made to be more durable (such that dropping them or twisting them wouldn't crack them open), and if the "ink" that printed the tags wouldn't smear inside the slab.


I like the way the coins seem to "float in space", and the tag that can be read from the top (an idea borrowed from SEGS, apparently) is handy.

SEGS is the best IMO.

I think ICG and PCGS scratch the easiest based on my experience.

SEGS (with a jefferson inside )

Who do you think has the best slab?

a tie between pcgs and the old anx slabs

now with the older anx slabs gone

pcgs are the best!!

I like the look of PCGS slabs (except the rattlers). However, I've noticed many of them chip on the corners and I have one that literally came apart in my hands!

NGC slabs never seem to chip, but I hate the white inserts.

ACG and the old ANACS slabs are too small for my taste, but the new ANACS slabs are an improvement.

SEGS are supposedly as close to indestructable as you can get, plus I like how you can read the top of the slap.

No question in my mind-SEGS.

I really like NGC because you can really look at the coin! It might be just me though!

I hope that was tax deductable

SEGS has the nicest slabs. Period. They look better, feel better, stack better, and protect the coin better than any other grading service's product. Larry Briggs set the gold standard when he designed the SEGS slab 8 years ago and has not needed to change it to stay ahead of others' designs. When PCGS redesigns their slabs next (which is overdue), they need to look at a SEGS slab and see how they can make a nicer one. Good luck!

I like the PCGS slab a lot. Its sturdy and clear. Old ANACS slabs are nice too. They are small and get to the point. I do dislike the white coin holder on the inside of the slabs like NGC and old ANACS holders have. If the old ANACS slabs were totaly clear like PCGS...forget about it. It would be a hands down winner.

Who's slab scratches easiest? That would have to be the new ANACS slab. Almost every one I have (which is about 20) has came from ANACS full of scratches.
