Tjames88 Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 08/27/2023 12:55 pm I took a closer look at one of my coins and noticed a hair inside. I thought it was a strike through but the hair is loose on the other side of the coin it looks like a white one. Do I keep it or send it back to get the hair out or? * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. * Report this Post to the Staff

Tjames88 Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 08/27/2023 1:11 pm I know it's just kind of funny aren't they supposed to have a quality check before it leaves. What do I do in this case just send it back with another form. I don't think the hair would damage it but you never know what kind of shampoo the person uses. What if it's none would that be worse? None is probably better Report this Post to the Staff

Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6529 Posts	Posted 08/27/2023 2:12 pm Aren't the "Tru View" photos taken before the coin is in the slab? And what proof do you have that this thing, whatever it is, wasn't there? Do you have before sent to pcgs photos? Just curious Report this Post to the Staff
Tjames88 Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 08/27/2023 2:31 pm If I sent it in with a hair on it they would have taken it off. I would have also it's a fresh hair the pictures must be after it was slabbed. The other end of the hair looks like it would blow in the wind. Report this Post to the Staff

Tjames88 Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 08/27/2023 2:50 pm Actually the hair on closer look is from a cotton swab, it just happened to be next to the mark that looks like hair. No worries though but I think my coin was struck through hair, it is raised on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
