I put the coin back in the capsule and found the capsule to be very loose. With most modern capsules they fit so tight that you can’t tell where the seam is to pry them open, but these capsules are not like that at all. That is a serious mistake by the South African Mint. With all the money that they make selling gold you would think they could afford people that design things properly, have good quality control and hire people that do a good job.
