    No idea, but with how long my orders sit in "Quality Check" I'm surprised when stuff like this gets out.

    My guess: $2-$3 on average including the cost of the machinery to seal it and labor when adjusted for the large volume.

    It's very easy to rotate a coin back to the correct orientation by tapping the side or corner of the slab on a table - if it starts to rotate the wrong way just start tapping the opposite corner. In all my years of doing this I've only encountered one or two that wouldn't budge.

    Exact same for me as a dealer/collector. Temperature, sharpness of rims, and I'd assume some allowable tolerance down to the fraction of a millimeter by our gasket manufacturer all play a part in this occasionally happening. But I can't ever remember the gentle tapping trick not correcting it, typically for good.

    Tapping works for these soft rubber inserts ? Rattlers yes but I would think the soft inserts would stick

    I assumed for rattlers you just need to keep turning the holder to keep the coin rolling until it lines up - is tapping necessary for those?

    For softer materials, I always understood that tapping or vibration was the way to go.

  • JimTylerJimTyler Posts: 3,034 ✭✭✭✭✭

    It never occurred to me these could be tapped straight. Guess I’ll get my hammer out 😉

    That particular plastic is worth much more because it has a sticker on it.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    All of our gaskets are manufactured in the U S of A.

    Just the plastic... they probably buy them by the thousand ... so I'll say 150 bucks per 1000.

    Labor is the big expense. You could try your electric toothbrush on the side to get it back to normal.

    You think if it got all the way through the system ( they should catch it before they seal and just spin the insert) they would eat the holder and reholder.

    What makes you think that it left the sealing room like that?

  • logger7logger7 Posts: 8,022 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I strongly believe that the PCGS holder is better than the alternatives, truly a credit to the high tech and creative minds out there in CA.

    Because I didn’t think this type could move on it’s own.

    I suppose one could take one of that type and try to move it.

    Electric toothbrush is very effective and saves from whacking the slab on a table.
