Any ideas what happened to this slab? Was it heated enough to melt the gasket?

Definitely deformed enough to hazard the heat guess...maybe just left in the car on a hot day, or in direct sunlight on a hot day.
Since the coin doesn't appear altered, I don't think a direct heat source (ie....oven or anything like that) was used.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
I've done this when I've forgotten about a coin under the halogen lights for an hour or two. Fortunately it doesn't seem to hurt the coin. Goofy-looking though.

Yep...looks like heat deformation... while the coin appears fine, I would be curious about any potential out gassing from the gasket.... Cheers, RickO
Good to know. Definitely something to stay on top of.
Looks like a candidate for a reholder.
Maybe someone experimenting with toning in holder methods.
Probably left out in the sun. The inner plastic was apparently less resistant to the heat than the outer hard plastic shell.
I have seen a couple of the older "solid" gaskets do something like this...kinda looks like a chewed up "gummy".
