If you have a scratched-up holder, try Brasso. Amazing!

I use the #2, like waxing your car. I apply it to the scratch, let it dry, then buff of with my Dremel tool. Works great on superficial scratches, and better on PCGS than NGC. NGC plastic appears to be a tad softer.
Will Brasso get those PCGS MS62 Buffs you have into 64 and 65 holders.

i was just thinking that... but have heard this suggestion many times... never had the guts to actually do... would rather pay the $$$ to get it re-slabed!

just Brasso and a cloth?

Ouch!
it is a polishing compounds that watch collectors use on older watches with acrylic/hesalite crystals (or Omega Speedmaster Pros). works like a charm on a slab!

I have to admit that I agree with Weiss. I'll leave "well enough" alone thank you very much.

this one made me laugh out loud!

Maybe if I use the Brasso on the eyeballs of the graders. I'm certain there are scratches on their eyes prevent them from giving my coins the high grades they deserve.

Chris, as you don't photograph your coins, I can see why the appearance of the holder is semi-irrelevant.

Brasso isn't a solvant and won't hurt the plastic. I've used it many times with all the top tier slabs with no ill effects. Just keep it away from the seams and you'll do just fine.

If you announced here that you'll give them a $100 bill 30% will say "What's wrong with it?"
Brasso is a polish...it works very well on hard plastic. This was taught to me by Mike Printz. It's not my discovery, nor was it his.
Worried about the getting it in seams? Whattaya have...LOBSTER CLAWS for hands???
Geez, you guys...it's not a solvent...it's a thin paste that you put a few drops of on a cloth and gently buff the surface with...nothing gets near the seams.
If your a mamsy-pamsy, leave your scuffed slabs alone.

Actually, some people use polyethelene sleaves to protect their slabs from scuffing.

The ones I saw looked like they were made to protect sports cards so any place that sells sports card supplies should have them.
