The occurrence of like-graded coins in Heritage auctions over the past year will give you a pretty good indication of how likely you are to see...
For coins that are not Important Coins or from Important Collections, both PCGS and NGC will play it conservative when it comes to crossovers....
It'll be interesting and not unprecedented if we see them being coined into some sort of medal.
