It's an NGS slab, it probably isn't sealed. Just open it up, remove the hair and snap it closed again.

It's a security measure. The DNA in the hair proves an NGS employee encapsulated it.

No, it's about 2 inches long, fairly straight and does not appear to have been coloree (or is that TMI?)

ChereePicker, this is a public forum, not a pubic forum. Why don't the graders cover their hair? Medical staff do it so hair and dandruff doesn't fall where it isn't wanted. |

It's not the graders... if you've ever seen the video of how the graders work they sit on comfy chairs in a dark room with good light and they handle the coins in boxes of plastic flips.
After grading [and for those orgs who practice it finalization and QA] the boxes of coins get handed off to somebody else who assembles the coin into the case and uses a large industrial machine to ultrasonically weld the case shut.
