<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 26682876, member: 112&quot;]I&#039;d say it&#039;s highly unlikely that any damage could occur. In the early days PCGS used a holder that came to be known as a &quot;Rattler&quot; because all the coins slabbed in them would rattle if you shook the slab. And I never even heard of one that became damaged because of it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Would your coin still move around in today&#039;s PCGS slab ? I don&#039;t know because PCGS uses a completely different design (there are no prongs) than NGC. But, it&#039;s certainly possible it could.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for what causes the coin to move in the NGC slab, it&#039;s because there was some variance in the planchet diameter for the early dollars, they are known for it. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you go here - </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-coins-weight.371746/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-coins-weight.371746/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-coins-weight.371746/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>- and look at post #6, you&#039;ll see the asterisk that denotes that beside the listed diameter for the early dollars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
