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

SGS used gold tape to seal their slabs :-)

On their first generation slabs, not their second generation.

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.
