<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brokecoinguy, post: 3050337, member: 85775&quot;]So after browsing some coin collecting subreddits last night I came across this story of a 1792 quarter pattern being damaged by its original NGC holder.&nbsp; It was knocked down to an XF40 during the crossover, which is apparently when the damage was noticed.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/coins/comments/8b0mfa/ngc_holder_prongs_damage_1_of_4_known_judd13/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.reddit.com/r/coins/comments/8b0mfa/ngc_holder_prongs_damage_1_of_4_known_judd13/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/coins/comments/8b0mfa/ngc_holder_prongs_damage_1_of_4_known_judd13/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone else have more information?&nbsp; I tried googling for more information but the only thing I could find were the reddit post and a thread on Collector&#039;s Universe (story link below).&nbsp; What a tragedy for the owner and numismatics in general.</p><p><br /></p><p>People started bringing out pitchforks in the CU thread but it did get me thinking.&nbsp; Does PCGS or NGC have any specialized inserts, prongs, or any other holder for these softer metal coins?&nbsp; Is it something they&#039;ve ever done in a sample slab?&nbsp; I ask with ignorance because I&#039;m a raw collector at the moment.&nbsp; If they have never been offered before I would hope this unfortunate case makes them revisit the idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]763230[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Collector&#039;s Universe story:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/997485/partrick-norweb-1792-quarter-j-19-in-white-metal-crossed-from-ngc-to-pcgs" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/997485/partrick-norweb-1792-quarter-j-19-in-white-metal-crossed-from-ngc-to-pcgs" rel="nofollow">https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/997485/partrick-norweb-1792-quarter-j-19-in-white-metal-crossed-from-ngc-to-pcgs</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
