At least that's what I call them. The encapsulation room I guess would be a better term. What have you heard. From what I understand, this room is contaminant free and has no humidity whatsoever. I hope so otherwise our slabs would have moisture or contaminants! I sure would like to take a tour of PCGS's facility!

I wonder about that, too. There's plenty of stories (with pictures) of people receiving slabs with eyelashes, hair, lint, and so on encapsulated with their coins...

I'm more concerned with moisture being encapsulated with the coin. Eyelashes would add character to the coin

Not to mention dust and food crumbs.

I've seen some slabs with what looks like an air pocket inside so that it blurs part of the window and you can't see the whole surface. I think I may even have some like this. Would they give us a break if we ask for a re-slab?
