What am I seeing inside this PCGS holder?

You have a poor image. Nevertheless, from 10 to 11 OC there is a whitish haze. You have the coin in hand. See if it is resting on the surface or if it appears raised. I don't think the coin would be in a slab if was something "serious."
Are you missing the great big honking white arrow on the lower right?

A coin. Yuk yuk. Phillipino 2 pesos? This is the US forum, but I think it was actually made in The USA. Slab is damaged but why?
Plastic molded weird when they were making the slab???

Looks like a 'void' in the insert gasket, no worries.

Can't really see, but doubt it's a toenail?
That's what i'm thinking. I was gonna go with corn chip, maybe toenail but void sounds better
Looks like a Chinese air bubble to me.

Wooooha! Did someone just say it's officially "TACO™" Tuesday????
This is one of the bounded multiverses Prof. Stephen Hawking wrote about in his final published paper, "A smooth exit from eternal inflation?"
PS: The arrow is not honking - that was a goose flying over your house.
I've had this problem before. Sometimes the rubber doesnt fit.
Might need to send it back to PCGS to get a slab without that great big honking white arrow on it . . .
1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
I have seen when slab got hot, rubber melted and air bubbles formed.
Yup. Never leave a slabbed coin in a closed car on a hot sunny day.

LOL...I'm interested in coins not plastic, light reflections, or BIG HONKING WHITE ARROWS! I'll Let the folks who slabbed the coin comment on any UNIMPORTANT defects in the plastic. I think the OP should be more concerned if there is a substance on the coin and not a reflection from the plastic.
I think it's a normal part of the slab. If you look, there are others on different parts of the slab.
And the coin appears fine in the truview.

I agree... just a slab anomaly, not an issue.... Insider2 has a point about the coin though.... Cheers, RickO
It could be a toenail but with no way to taste it, you’ll never know.
Cant pull up the image to enlarge for some reason but if that is a toenail then you should get a special designation for sure. Maybe a sticker too.
Best place to buy !

False alarm for me, I was hoping for a rerun of the "cockroach slab"
Sorry, @FredWeinberg, is it my etymology or entomology that's off?
Can you send me a closer image? dtalk@collectors.com
Occasionally there will be imperfections in the gasket (the inner ring that holds the coin in place), most likely this is what you're seeing but from your image I'm not able to tell.

Wow, my ridiculous post actually got a response from PCGS customer service. Thanks for the reply David.
Either close the bedroom door or post an instructional video
