keith12 Pillar of the Community United States 2695 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 2:51 pm Why would someone put a coin in a slab this big? the thing is bigger then my hand. I will be sending it in to get reholdered Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 94141 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 3:16 pm I have seen oversized coins in those slabs, but never anything that would fit in a normal slab. Must have been a custom request from someone who likes the big slabs.

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 3307 Posts	Posted 01/11/2021 7:02 pm Thalers get huge (they're on the larger side of crown-sized) and I suspect the guy who did this thought it wouldn't fit into a normal slab. I would not necessarily be confident it would fit, but I don't have much experience with slabs. I'd have kept the holder; it's neat and unusual. Report this Post to the Staff

I would not necessarily be confident it would fit, but I don't have much experience with slabs. I'd have kept the holder; it's neat and unusual. I'm sure there's some that won't. But a lot do fit. I have one that's almost the same size and it fits just fine in a normal sized slab. Report this Post to the Staff

And I don't think there's enough space for those prongs, either. Report this Post to the Staff
