<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2565912, member: 77639&quot;]One way exclusivity of registries could be less of a problem for collectors and TPGs would be for NGC and PCGS to offer a sticker option for crossover grading.&nbsp; At the option of the submitter, when a coin crosses, a sticker indicating agreement with the grade could be put on the existing slab instead of reslabbing the coin.&nbsp; Say a MS64 PCGS Morgan is submitted to NGC for grading.&nbsp; At the option of the submitter, NGC would place a NGC sticker on the slab if their graders think the coin is MS64 or better.&nbsp; The NGC sticker would have a NGC cert. no. on it.&nbsp; Vice versa for a NGC coin submitted to and successfully crossed by PCGS.</p><p><br /></p><p>Such dual-graded coins could be entered in both registries if desired.&nbsp; A policy like this would generate a big burst of coins submitted to both services as many collectors would like to have coins certified by both.&nbsp; The services could charge the same for crossover with reslabbing or stickering, but the latter would less costly for them.&nbsp; It would probably take some business from CAC.&nbsp; If a coin is certified by both NGC and PCGS, how much need would there be for CAC certification? </p><p><br /></p><p>The services already sticker GSA holders, so they can&#039;t say they don&#039;t have the technology to sticker each other&#039;s slabs.&nbsp; They might have to consider slabs from other services to avoid antitrust accusations, but that is something for their legal departments to determine.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing the services should avoid is putting a grade on the sticker.&nbsp; The sticker should simply indicate that the grade is equal to or better than the one on the slab label.&nbsp; Under no circumstances should the sticker have a grade different from the one on the slab label, either explicitly or implicitly by a different color label.&nbsp; This would lead to endless confusion and extra work.&nbsp; A coin graded MS63 by one service and MS64 by the other would probably by advertized by sellers or auction houses at the higher grade.&nbsp; Buyers and bidders would have to read the small print (if provided) to see the lower grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
