PCGS label out of place

Has anyone ever tried to reposition a label in the slab? I made an offer on a coin and I noticed that the right side of the label has dropped about a quarter of an inch. The left side is in proper position. It's CAC'd, and I don't really want to send it back for a re holder. But being overly meticulous about my collection I am certain this will bug me! Accckkkkkk! Any constructive advice?

    Perhaps gentle taping on the opposite end against a table might get it alined.

    Edited to add the word, gentle

    That's what I would try first.

    I've used a SonicCare toothbrush to rotate coins into proper positions. You might try that too.

    I've had this issue once or twice too. While it shouldn't really matter...it's certainly something that bugged me. Good Luck.

    Did you have any luck repositioning the label? Advice?

    I've been able to rotate a coin back into its proper place by taping on the corner. It's a tedious process and doesn't always work.

    On the back of the label there is a small circle of adhesive that if it is still good makes it hard to move the label. I had a few labels that were crooked but never got them to move back into position. image

    Really? That bothers you?

    Try focusing on the coin.

    Too harsh?

    Me too.

    Basically, the labels simply do not move and if the label is crooked, it came that way from the shop. PCGS really should not charge you to make the correction.

    Take a picture and forward it to one of the PCGS exec's asking for advice. Their emails are available on their webpage. I'd suggest David Hall.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    IMO, Yes.

    Would a scratch on your 67 Mustang GT with a 390 under the hood bother you or should you just focus on the engine?

    Tapping the upper right corner somewhat assertively on a surface that won't chip the slab has worked for me.

    I've had them move back into position, but once loose, they won't necessarily stay where they belong.

    I may be in the minority, but I would not care..... It is the coin, always the coin.... Of course, if I were OCD.......Cheers, RickO
