NGC Slabs

[Lincoln Date Set-migration]

Does anyone know how the coins are inserted into the NGC slabs? Are they just "pressed" into the opening... or are there two pieces that are "encapsulated" around the coin?

 

If they're inserted, isn't there a strong possibility of damage when inserted - removing them from the slab?

I had the same question! I saw how PCGS coins are put into slabs from their grading process video. But the plastic in the NGC holder is just a flemsy piece of white plastic with a hole in it - one that's not much larger than the coin. So, some force would have to be applied wo get the coin in there. I don't know how it could be done without risk of damaging the coin.

How does PCGS insert the coins into their slabs?

They use custom gaskets, put that around the coin, and then insert the gasket into the slab. Go to their homepage and check out the video.

they bend the gasget almost in half and insert coin then given a blast of compressed air to clean off any particles on both sides then to slabbing machine put in between the two outer plastic halves and sonically seal them by high frequency waves sealing i think both pieces together

 

then it is off to quality control and then securely packaged and sent to the happy collectors awaiting their packages

 

with the wailing and nashing of teeth at most of the grades lately and also bodybags some are ON TOP OF THE WORLD RUNNERS HIGH slab masturbation like bige with that AT proof 66 seated dollar he just made at ngc
