    Is this ad a fact or made up? They can't be serious.

    It seems legit. I just googled sightwhitecoins.com for several websites.

    For people who don't collect slabs, this is what NGC and PCGS sound like.

    The ad says it’s another stickering service, not a new slab.

    I think this proliferation of stickers (serious ones or nonsense ones) will cause “sticker burnout”(TM) and cause collectors to lose interest in all stickers.

    Went and read on their site: The service has been done since 2017 for free on shows.

    This will help all of the blind coin collectors that are unable to tell if their slabbed coin is toned or not.

    It will also facilitate sight-unseen trading. Which, for those unfamiliar with the term, does not usually involve blind numismatists.

    It didn't happen with the proliferation of slabs. Why would stickers be any different? On the other hand, I think slabs and stickers did drive some collectors away from coins, especially U.S. coins. But far more collectors were attracted to the hobby than driven away.

    This has been around for awhile - it’s not new.

    Correct. It was supposed to say "THE NEW ATONAL STANDARD". Not sure where the N came from. The service is run by descendants of Alban Berg. The W on the sticker means "Wozzeck."
