<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismat, post: 1314127, member: 15019&quot;]Only if a coin was squeezed completely under enough pressure would it expand at the edges. A coin impressed with just a portion of another coin will remain the same size and often will have undamaged rims. I&#039;m positive d.t. menace&#039;s coin would perfectly fit the slab as well.</p><p>Not to mention, slabs can usually be sized to fit the coin in question even if it doesn&#039;t fit the standard size for that type.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mike Diamond&#039;s judgment is highly regarded in the error community. And speed is just a sign of high expertise. </p><p>Same principle as when you bring something you think is gold to a local &quot;buying gold&quot; spot and they need only one look at it to know if it&#039;s gold or not. Because they have seen so much of it that knowing what to look for has become instinctive. The analysis happens on a subconscious level and that happens much quicker than when you have to stop and consciously think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
