Dith Pran Valued Member United States 283 Posts	Posted 01/27/2017 5:37 pm Is it normal for there to be some movement in the slab when you handle an NGC graded coin? Is it within the tolerances for the insert to have some play against the capsule? It's not a big deal. I was just surprised since all of my other slabs are rock solid. Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 01/28/2017 10:02 am Here's one of mine. The insert has quite a bit of movement. You can hear it racking back and forth when you shake it. Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 01/28/2017 11:16 am Who says I sent it in? The thread is about a generation of NGC slabs with a wobbly insert. This is one of 'em. Edited by edweather 01/28/2017 11:21 am Report this Post to the Staff

AES Valued Member United States 452 Posts	Posted 01/29/2017 10:45 pm Yeah, I've seen a lot of NGC inserts loose within the clear casing. I suspect there's a <1 mm gap of sorts by design. Report this Post to the Staff
