[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1428151, member: 15309"]I actually understand what you are saying. The new configuration makes the coin look like is resides inside a radioactive warning symbol.

With the old holders, it was very difficult to determine where the coin edge ended and the gasket started. With the new holder, it is very easy to correctly crop a coin photo.
