<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 901965, member: 11854&quot;]It depends upon what you value for your collection. If you value the uniformity and completeness of all PCGS certified coins and do not want to go through the effort and uncertainty of the crossover process then you may want to continue your search. If, however, you value the coin itself much more than your participation in the PCGS registry and/or you are willing to go through the effort and accept the uncertainty of the crossover process then you may want to purchase the coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I do not collect Buffs so I cannot write from personal experience, but I do collect early Federal coinage and I did not hesitate when I found the <i>perfect </i>circulated 1817/3 Capped Bust half in an NGC holder even though my collection is likely 90% PCGS certified. I also never sent the coin in for crossover and simply enjoy it for what it is. By the way, you may or may not be aware as this might not be in your collecting niche, but if you attempt to find the perfect circulated 1817/3 Capped Bust half that has never been abused in the past you will see it is an incredibly tough coin to locate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
