Lint in the PCGS holder

I broke a 1922 No D Strong Reverse coin out of a blue ANACS slab and submitted it to ANACS. The good news: it came back a higher grade.
The bad news: There is a piece of lint trapped inside the holder! Is this something PCGS would correct without a cost to me?
Thanks,
Bob
I can't tell until I post it if my picture is attached! Someone is right, this is cumbersome software!

If lint is over the coin or in the prongs, they might fix it for you. But if its out of the rubber ring I wouldnt worry about it, I dont have OCD though...well kinda.

Your post is a bit confusing. Did you resubmit the coin through ANACS (as your post expressly states) or through PCGS (which your post implies)? Either way contact the third party grading service's customer service department; since the lint could contain chemicals that could leach onto the coin's surfaces and interact with them (no matter the small relative risk), I believe that they would be happy to fix it.
If it is you can send it back for a complimentary 'Blow Off'.

And letting everyone know they make them does not help get them fixed any sooner.
They have holdered over 20 million coins and they are human so yes there have been mistakes and they and most others know that.
Send it back to them with a written note of the problem and it will be back in a couple of weeks.

Yes, I am sure that PCGS will reholder that for you at no cost. But I doubt they would cover shipping. A phone call should get your questions answered.

The error I had fixed last week all I paid was to ship the item to PCGS. They paid the return.

That is certainly fair. If you attend a coin show where PCGS is set up, I wonder if you could just drop it off with them at the show.

I don't think he had bad intentions here.

Or, if you go to the regular, large national coin shows, why not take it back to them then?
Just noticed it this weekend. I will give them a call on Tuesday. This cost me about $70 for grading because of the tier. I will have to weigh the cost of shipping and insurance before sending it back. I think it cost me about $15 for shipping and insurance when I sent it in by itself.
Maybe PCGS will be at the Dallas Money Show in October. That may be the way to go because I'm planning to go to that.
Thanks for your advice and welcomes to the forum!

Comments: On-site grading will be offered! Show submissions will be accepted through Friday. All other service level submissions will end late morning/early afternoon Saturday. PCGS Representatives will be able to answer questions, accept submission (excluding Bulk), and provide specific hours for submission cutoff times. For further details, please check with a PCGS Representative at the booth.
Looks like the easiest way to a cure is Dallas.
