Send the pictures to NGC - since it's their fault, they should fix it.
Not if you're trolling though.

Perhaps the grade was "just by a hair". At one time I had a PCGS slab with a piece of a cookie crumb in it. Shows you what the graders are doing at the time.

I've seen quite a few of the hair slabs, unfortunately, they could cause serious discoloring if the hair has hairspray or coloring, conditioner, etc on it. Get it back for a re-holder.

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

actually this generation of NGS appears to be Sonicly sealed - that and the hair are why I bought it for my slab collection

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

Only vicious if you want to see the coin in that slab.  |
