MS70 Slab Abnormality?
Can anyone tell me what is going on along the rim of this 2006-W MS70 ASE? It appears to be an abnormality in the holder.


Perhaps its nothing to be worried about? I bought a stack of these and this is the only one with the condition.

Great, thank you!

Yup. They use a soft rubber like material that sometimes has irregularities that overlaps the rim. Nothing to worry about.

Good eye. I agree.

Except the gaskets are soft rubber and flashing is generally on the midline. I think this is slight extrusion, somewhat common on PCGS slabs and not a problem.

These polyurethane gaskets are injection molded instead of extruded. Flashing happens at the molds parting line which for this design would be located exactly as seen in the picture.
