<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1251958, member: 30400&quot;]Judging the likelihood of an upgrade even from really good pictures is a crapshoot.

Not worried about damage -- PCGS slabs are the easiest to crack, but you never know how a raw coin will come back.</p><p><br /></p><p>That leaves crossing it. You could do that but going from PCGS 63 to NGC 63 is not a smart move. And I don&#039;t think you can cross for a minimum grade that is higher than its current grade. (I know that&#039;s true of PCGS&#039;s crossing rules. I&#039;m guessing it&#039;s the same with NGC.)</p><p><br /></p><p>So you would have to be willing to accept NGC 63 and hope it will go 64. Long shot but possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think a better option is to send it to PCGS for a regrade. It&#039;s not expensive and the coin will be cracked by them. Its current grade is guaranteed. So you will either get it back as a 63, a bump to a higher grade, or an email with an offer to buy it back because it doesn&#039;t warrant a 63.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have had many coins bumped from regrades. Don&#039;t think PCGS will look for a reason to keep it at the same grade. If it deserves higher it&#039;ll get it.</p><p>Lance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
