TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 10/19/2016 11:14 am I have never owned a slabbed coin and I had a couple of questions. Are the slabs air-tite? Are the coins firmly in place so they don't rotate or rattle? Are the cases fairly sturdy? Report this Post to the Staff

The most recent generation of PCGS holders are wster-tight, but air has smaller, slippery molecules. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

There are many of them being shipped overseas. Go on (Not Allowed).com and look up coin holders. Also, if there is something you are interested in buying, post it here and we can analyze the coin for you. Lots of very knowledgeable people on here. Report this Post to the Staff

So the case is NOT fairly sturdy and I have seen some rotation of coins inside. That does not mean that this company should be avoided. People use ICCS for their grading service, not for the holder.
