What is the maximum diameter of a coin that PCGS will holder?

I'm getting near the point that I'm ready to make my first submission to PCGS for my 1979 OFEC set and I've got one coin that sticks out like a sore thumb.

KM#10a 1979 Solomon Islands $10. It's a pretty big coin at 45mm, so big in fact that it doesn't fit within the cutout on a standard 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" mylar crown holder.

After much deliberation I've decided that I do want this collection graded and to maximize presentation I want them all to be in the same slabs. If it turns out that PCGS won't holder this hulk I suppose I'll have to send the whole lot across the street.

Anybody have the info?

    I think it's only 42 or 43 mm. I'd recommend calling Customer Service and ask.
    I know that NGC can holder bigger coins, though.
    When in doubt, don't.
