<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 26052989, member: 77639&quot;]Recently acquired a French 1928 2-franc piefort (double thick) coin in an auction. Coin has Oscar Roty’s beautiful semeuse (female sower) design.&nbsp; It was in a NGC holder, graded MS63.&nbsp; See pics below.&nbsp; NGC considers these coins to have a regular finish; hence, the “MS” grade.&nbsp; But PCGS considers them to have a special finish and gives them a “SP” grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I sent the coin to PCGS for crossover.&nbsp; Today, I received an email from PCGS asking if it was OK to assign the coin a grade of SP63.&nbsp; Are you kidding?!!&nbsp; Of course!</p><p><br /></p><p>It was nice of them to ask.&nbsp; I suppose there might be a person somewhere that might reply, “No.&nbsp; I don’t want no stinkin’ SP grade!&nbsp; Keep it in the NGC holder and send it back.”&nbsp;&nbsp; I guess they’re just being careful.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1657148[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1657149[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
