    To keep a coin from turning in a coin frame with tabs, take a piece
    of wire and roll it through a rolling mill.  Then cut pieces to
    wedge between the coin and frame under each tab.  The length and
    thickness of the piece depends on how loose the coin is, but at
    least three times the width of the tab.  Then push the tab over with
    a prong pusher.  A brass pusher works well, but if your concerned
    with slipping off and marring the coin a wooden dowel rod in a
    graver handle would work or make a pusher from a plastic handle from
    a tooth brush. Brad Simon CMBJ
