<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 2756084, member: 22602&quot;]You&#039;re right, it had to have been allowed to move in the first place. I&#039;ve pondered this problem for more time than I&#039;d care to admit. The inserts have to be designed tight enough to hold the coin securely but apparently not so tight that it becomes cumbersome and slows down the process (cutting into profits!) for the &quot;staff&quot; (i.e., the carpal tunnel crew) who spend their days inserting coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>But really, can&#039;t they design an insert which is the right size and has the right amount of friction so that it can&#039;t move? Doesn&#039;t sound that difficult to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I also don&#039;t understand is that, if it takes so much effort to correct the orientation of a coin by banging it on a desktop, how was the coin able to move that much in the first place? How does basic handling of slabs—even years of driving them around to shows or shipping them—produce so much movement?</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, this isn&#039;t my coin, just one I chose as a dramatic example. I do like it though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
