David, I've noticed a ton of threads over the past couple of weeks about dust, red threads, and now even eye lashes getting onto the coin just prior to being slabbed.
Question is, if we all go through the pain staking efforts of sending our coins into PCGS with none of these problems on our coins, does PCGS do anything to the coin before it is slabbed?
Maybe blow off the dust?
Maybe wipe with a soft cotton cloth?
Is this to much to ask, or do you just grade so many coins that this is impossible to do?

We do not clean coins before we slab them. We do have an air hose that blows off dust off the holder. The hose has a special filter that takes all of the moisture out of the air.
We sometimes screw up and an eye lash or other debris gets into a holder. Just send the coin back and we'll fix it.
Thanks,
David
