Hidalgo Valued Member United States 216 Posts	Posted 09/14/2022 4:57 pm I recently saw a NGC graded coin that was significantly rotated (about 25 degrees clockwise) within its slab. A check of its certification number showed that it is a valid submission. I'm wondering if it's common for certified coins to rotate within their slabs. If so, what causes the rotation?

These often had the tiniest amounts of wiggle and over time the coin could rotate with those wiggles. If its a newer slab where the coin is held in place with a rubberie-something, then it was very likely just bad QC by whomever stuck it in there. Report this Post to the Staff

Incorrect installation, slab parts are not fully fixed, there may be many reasons, but there are fewer and fewer problems in newer holders. Another problem may be that the holder is not matched in size. Edited by Slerk 09/15/2022 8:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff
