Crap-U-Slab perhaps... ?? Just kidding, Twodogs has a great certification company going on over there, and his customer service representative is top notch!!
All of them! Simply because every single last one puts round coins into rectangle slabs! Why not a round slab! I haven't seen any currency in round protectors. So, what's up? Jerry
ACG... no question. I've owned ONE! ...I bought it sight unseen. It was a 22-Plain in XF45... but in real life it was a 22 shadow D in G-4. Upon getting that coin, about five years ago, I said I'd never own another ACG slab. ...and I havent.
My wife and I were at a show a year or two ago. There was actually a really nice naturally toned rainbow dollar in a ACG slab. We were talking about the coin infront of the dealer. She said something like, "But it's in a ACG slab." I said, "Well, we dont have to touch it. I'm sure the dealer would brake it out for us so we wouldnt have to buy the slab." The dealer almost broke out laughing.
Hey K6AZ, someone took a wire brush to that 95-O. Total bummer. The last time I used a wire brush, I was 16 and taking a welding course at the local community college.

That they did, and there was also tooling on that coin. As bad as it is, I have a couple of Long Island halves in those holders that are even worse, and both graded "MS 65".
As bad as some of the others are, I would have to say SGS (rarely anything less than a '70' in any of thier slabs)

I'd have to say NewMISTRUST. Perfect example...I get a 1955-S MS-67 in the mail yesterday that I won from eBay. I paid somewhere in the area of $22.00. After cracking it out and peering upon it for some time, it couldn't be anything more than a 62, possibly 63. I think these people are far worse than ACG. (JMHO)
What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?

<< <i>Boy Eric, is that holder ever scratched up!

Yeah Hadleydog, I guess these are scratches on the "MS65" holder!
I will say that my choice was mentioned in this thread though.

I think this is a valid question, not just the question of some hair slitting lawyer.
