Human hair inside a slab...

I seem to remember that I own two slabs with a human hair (Well, I think it is a human hair) in the slab with the coin...

Have any of you heard of this before? I need to figure out which slabs and then figure out what to do with them. I received them in a few bulk purchases I made back when I was putting together a Lincoln set (Yes, they are in a copper slab).

I imagine they could be returned to the slab company to have them resabbed, do you think that woul dbe free of charge (To include shipping?).

I also have some 1943 cents that look like.... ahhhh, poo that I need to figure out how to handle.

Thanks for reading,
Ray

    I think it's TomB that tells the story about a piece of white bread stuck inside a PCGS slab?

    I had a Fruit Fly stuck in a slab once.

    I owned a slab with what looked like a bread crumb from a sandwich.

    Perhaps you could clone your own private grader.

    I'd guess the TPG would pay shipping and re-slab for free. Call and ask.

    One of my slabs had cooties. I sold it for big bucks on eBay.

    LOL! Please provide a picture! Too funny! I can just envision some nerdy coin grader picking his nose, or eating a sandwich, while grading someone's expensive coins.

    I have a leprechaun in one of my slabs.. That little sucker laughs at me everytime I take him out of the safe..

    He writes his messages in smoke signals from his pipe..

    His last message he wrote me said... George let me out of this worthless "ICG" coin slab.image

    His next message came and it said.. You want more milk spots on your coin. He started laughing his Askoff harder than I ever seen before... Damn you, he said....

    Come on man! If you are going to lock me up forever, at least you can do, is to put me inside a PCGS holder.image

    1918-S WLH 50C Partial Collar Mint Error - ANACS AU 55 Details Cleaned. My favorite ANACS coin as it came with a special DNA gift from the grader. On the reverse a top the F and D in Half Dollar was a booger with a nose hair, which once cracked came right off with a can of compressed air! image

    This Nose Trophy I guess was like ANACS's early version of a NGC Star or CAC Green Watermelon Sticker? imageimage

    I'd like to think it's a nose hair.

    In attempt to bring this thread back out of the weeds, I can relate a story that happened to me.

    I sent in an order of 20 moderns to PCGS for grading. One of the 20 had a bit of fuzzy fiber imbedded in the front of the slab immediately in front of the coin - and inside the holder. As we all know, sending a single coin back to PCGS is expensive. So I waited a year or so before I got to a big show where PCGS was in attendance. They were happy to re-encapsulate the coin at no charge. They even did it the same day so there was no shipping involved.

    That being said, PCGS stood behind their product. But I wish their final inspector caught more of these errors instead of their customers.
