<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3206070, member: 46237&quot;]Crossing is when you send a slabbed coin from one service to another service for grading, i.e. sending a PCGS coin to NGC. With crossing, you specify a minimum grade with the coin. The TPG you send it to grades the coin <i>in the slab</i> and if it doesn&#039;t grade your minimum or higher they return it to you in the slab you submitted it in.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the slab is scuffed up considerably it can really hinder your chances of the coin crossing well. If they can&#039;t see the coin well in the holder it&#039;s only going to hurt the grade. It&#039;s better to either crack the coin out and submit it raw, or pay to reholder the coin <i>and then</i> try to cross it, which just adds a lot of extra time and money.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a coin is going to cost you extra money to fix a problem with the slab itself, then the coin isn&#039;t worth as much as if it had a pristine slab.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
