I have a PR66 1964 Kennedy half in an old "Rattler" Slab. Over the years the coin has turned in the slab such that it is now facing South !! I tried looking at the PCGS site to see if I could submit it for a new slab, but all I got was a headache and no answer. Can someone give me guidance on how I can submit it for a new holder ? Thanks, rs |

You need to have submission privileges, select the reholder option.
However, there are ways to turn it back and a rattler MAY have a little extra value. The numismatist in me says to leave it alone.

OK, I see where I have to pony up some (read "a lot") of $$ just to get to the door.
Then, another pot of money to re-submit.
Something tells me PCGS is not oriented to the small time submitter like me.
I think I'll try slogging through the NGC site.
Thanks for the reply.

Take it to your LCS and they will submit to PCGS for you.

The rattlers can be shaken back into position. Just shake it a lot... I am not joking.

There was a video posted a few years ago, of a guy beating a slab on a table and turning the coin

Try using a strong neodymium magnet, have the pole facing the slab, with the center of the magnet along the rim of the coin and quickly pull the magnet in a line tangent to the coin.
Do it a couple of times.
Silver is diamagnetic so you should be able to pull it into the correct orientation.
