Shiny Slabs
OK all you experts. Help! What works the best for removing the hairline scratches from certified holders? I've got some nice coins in some holders that really detract from the coin. Forget photographing them...they would come out hazy. I would appreciate some ideas. I know I could get them reslabbed but that's a last resort. Thanks in advance for the input.

I also noticed how many of these sets were winners at the PCGS registry site also. NGC..You guys are the hands down best! Is this a great country or what?
