Ryan - you have to use the correct size holder for each coin. Then there will be no movement.
But you are not talking about reality, you are creating your own scenario. And while that scenario may work for lesser grades, it would not work...
Honestly, I believe most of them would. That is exactly what happens with the vast majority of re-submitted coins in other grades. So I have no...

As I have said many times I believe the 70 grade is realistic and that there are plenty of coins out there deserving of the 70 grade. That said, I...
Definitely.
