[QUOTE="900fine, post: 205767, member: 6036"]In PCGS slabs, the coin is surrounded by a flexible O-ring... it's kinda like silicone rubber. I don't know the exact material. It seems like these would be the easiest to slide around the coin with minimal surface contact. In NGC's slabs, the coin is surrounded by a much more rigid material. Seems more difficult to get in / out without significant surface contact. So yes - the act of slabbing (or cracking out) involves some impact to the coin - very small, but non-zero.[/QUOTE]
