Yes to the general public ?

Received back some coins direct from NGC.  Went direct myself so that I have a paper trail for proof of authenticity for when I come to sell.  Counterfeiting is getting better all the time so in 10-20 years it's nice to have the paper work to go with the coins.  I'm keeping the original submission forms, screen shot of NGC site which shows invoice and line items and copy of NGC's emailed PDF invoice which also have invoicing a line items.  All info will match each cert on the slabs.  Adds reassurance to buyers since coins in slabs can't be tested and it's authenticity is reliant on visual inspections against the original.
Main reason for slabbing is to reduce storage space, protect the coins and possibly add value to some.  Saves having to play Tetris when new items are added into storage or when I take things out and have to get it all back in again.  90% of my grading will be proof gold with a select few silver.  For me, I don't feel slabbing silver is economical unless it's a special coin/medal.
Pile of boxes on the left is now reduced to the pile of slabs on the right.  Boxes will be shrink wrapped and labelled (pics of the slabs) for easy identification and matching up in the future and then thrown into a Really Useful Box and put into storage.  The boxes are not needed but I want to keep everything so they can be sold on together with the slab.

The full Sov only got a 69

Expected a 69 for the 3g Temple Panda.

Happy to get 70s for Dragon and Phoenix

Turtle boat was originally a 69 but they recommended conservation and came back a 70.  Kazakhstan Lunar is one of my favorite coins and a 70 is a bonus.

1g 2016 Panda came from a Chards in OMP on release but was cut open for some reason.  I knew they were sold out and never bothered to quiz it since an exchange would not have been possible and I got it for a really good price on pre-order.  Thought I'd throw it in for grading.  Happy with the Berlin Panda at 70.

2016 Temple of Pandas.  69 was pretty much expected with only 20% achieving 70.  Never bothered to inspect them properly when I received them and I can see and issue with the frosting on the bottom left medal.  No wonder they're making such a big deal with the Temple 2 Panda and the high number of 70s which have come back (to the Sponsor).  We'll have to wait and see if the public also get the same proportion or whether they've been cherry picked.  I already sent back 2 of the 4 I received for replacement.

 
 

Had to trek to the Sorting Office to pick this up.  2017 Nanjing Panda in plain old proof silver.  Was OMP but I broke it out.
