    I know this has been discussed before but I can't get the search function to find anything. If someone out there knows the trick could you please post how to turn a coin in a TPG slab. Thanks in advanced. James

    You have to tap the edge a few times until the coin falls into the proper position you want it in. It might take some time or it could happen quickly depending how the coins turns.

    Yeah, it takes abrupt jolts to the slab. Usually they're loose enough you can hold in one hand and hit your wrist against your other arm and it'll slightly move. Repeat until it's oriented right side up. As long as its not getting shipped and jolted, it can be handled and shouldn't move on you anymore.

    You can try using an electric toothbrush held against an edge along with judicious tapping.

    When a coin rotates in a sealed slab it can be rotated back as stated above. However it will rotate itself to another odd position over time and movement.
