kyleg02247 Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 08/24/2018 08:34 am Hey Guys, I have a 1880 Shield nickel graded by NGC at at MS 66. Do you guys agree on the grade, not sure why the coin was slabbed completely off-center but I was debating sending it to PCGS to be graded. Let me know what you all think.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18654 Posts	Posted 08/24/2018 12:38 pm there is no reason to resub it. you are not going to get a higher grade and if someone is having an off day it could go the other way due to the soft strike area on the shield Report this Post to the Staff

kyleg02247 Valued Member United States 84 Posts	Posted 08/24/2018 3:11 pm Just very frustrating they didnt center the coin in the slab, its rotated like 75-80 degrees Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36710 Posts	Posted 08/24/2018 3:13 pm It was probably straight when it was originally slabbed. Report this Post to the Staff
52Raymo Pillar of the Community United States 8516 Posts	Posted 08/24/2018 7:22 pm I can't tell how it's oriented in the slab but I know others have tapped a corner repeatedly to get the coin to turn in the slab. Try either your palm or cover a hard surface with a towel and tap. It might turn. Oregon coin geek.....* GO BEAVS ! ! ! * Report this Post to the Staff
