That certainly wasn't in the description. image OK, it looks more like an eyelash, but still gross! It's in a new ANACS holder that's even labeled wrong. image

    Guess Jim Halperin has a tough fight on his hands if he's ever nominated to serve on the Supreme Court.

    Yeah that is kinda gross. Not a pubic hair as your title suggests. It is too straight. image

    They could be a rare IdahoGal eyelash in that slab!!! Put it on E-Bay, Kiefer will pay thousands!!!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    << <i>Put it on E-Bay, Kiefer will pay thousands!!! >>



    Only if he hyped it as a pube.

    First we had signed slabs. Now we have slabs with eyelashes of famous people.

    I think yours is from the Pauly Shore Collection.

    Hair in the slab is better than bloodstains on the slab.

    I wouldn't complain. At least it's not a booger, PVC or a "body fluid."

    landing strip is good....but I prefer "happy trail".
    Family, kids, coins, sports (playing not watching), jet skiing, wakeboarding, Big Air....no one ever got hurt in the air....its the sudden stop that hurts. I hate Hurricane Sandy. I hate FEMA and i hate the blasted insurance companies.

    Better not reslab that coin. The DNA on that hair can prove who was working with your gold coin.

    Clarence slabbed that coin.
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    Aww, I didn't mean to get you riled.. I've just had my entire arm up a cow before. Gross is a relative term.

    I once had a $3 PCGS slab with what looked like a white bread crumb stuck prominently to the coin. Since $3 were hot I sold it w/o even a second look or question from the buyer.

    I suspect someone was grading while having lunch!

    I have seen hairs and other miscellaneous colored lint in PCGS Slabs. Quality control is usually good but never perfect for most likely anywhere you go.
