Coin Chaser Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 03/12/2011 10:06 pm I have one NGC and one PCGS that the coins are in at an angle. Does anyone know how to fix them. Can you send them back to their graders. It might not matter but it sure bugs me. Any suggestions? Report this Post to the Staff

Just rotate the slab in a circular pendulum motion with a vertical axis, in the opposite direction to which you wish to rotate the coin. I do it all the time in all sorts of coin holders.

brokencompass Valued Member United States 451 Posts	Posted 03/13/2011 1:43 pm I am sure the coin would move due to the vibration but is the movement predictable? Report this Post to the Staff
Coin Chaser Valued Member United States 307 Posts	Posted 03/16/2011 10:32 pm Thanks again for all the help. It took a while but it is perfect now. I used the toothbrush, electric shaver, light taps and much patience. I gave it to my granddaughter on her birthday. 03-15. Thanks again Report this Post to the Staff
