<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 3977131, member: 16729&quot;]I don&#039;t think that I would ask for a re-holdering.&nbsp; It would bother me, but not enough to have them re-do it.&nbsp; After all, the coin IS in the dang holder and I have pretty low standards for things like that...</p><p><br /></p><p>More importantly, I don&#039;t want any more people touching my coins than is necessary Oh, and remember the big, fat fingerprints the &quot;rubber core inserter guy&quot; can sometimes leave!&nbsp; That&#039;s the real reason I always cringe when I send my coins into a TPG.</p><p>Here&#039;s upside downers in PCGS holders:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1046799[/ATTACH]&nbsp; &nbsp; [ATTACH=full]1046800[/ATTACH]</p><p>One-Won (South Korea)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 200-Won commem (South Korea)</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen this before in NGC holders, too. The One-Won coin seems to be one of the most common coins to get displayed upside down in TPG holders and in item descriptions at online auction sites.&nbsp; The Korean writing doesn&#039;t help with orientation cues, I&#039;m sure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, you may be thinking that with coins that use a roman alphabet, the core-inserter guy should be able to figure out which side is &quot;up.&quot;</p><p>I&#039;m not so sure.&nbsp; Here might be some factors that keep him/her from getting coin orientation correct:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) The number of coins the guy has to do is probably huge (I&#039;ve done jobs like this before, so trust me when I say that the bosses don&#039;t care).</p><p><br /></p><p>2) He&#039;s been doing it for how many hours before he got to YOUR coin..? (Oh, and oops, there slips his thumb, leaving a great big print on your coin!)</p><p><br /></p><p>3) 1 out of 10 people in society have an IQ of less than 82.&nbsp; I&#039;m not casting aspersions on the guy here, just stating a little factoid we need to keep in mind for a lot of things.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
