<p>[QUOTE="coppermania, post: 1246898, member: 18304"]Winged Liberty, I'd say that is a tough question, so I will try to make my answer simple. From my(our) experience, we tend to send all copper and toned silver to NGC as they seem less inclined to BB those coins for color. PCGS for Morgans that need PL or DMPL designations. Then NGC if the coin would benefit from an edge view holder. Higher value coins get saved for the yearly free submission certs and If any other coins need certified, they just tag along with wherever we are shipping. I have done crossovers, and reviews with limited success, but no more than when coins get cracked out and resubmitted. That only proved to me that any given grade is up to a three point swing either way depending on the day/ service. Example, MS Morgan grades 63 PL, gets cracked out and receives a 64 no PL. What is better? Do you send it in again? No, they got it right no matter what the service, so we tend to move on at that point. So we learn as we go and the more that goes in, the better we get at sending in coins that will grade where we thought they would. It also doesn't hurt to have coins around to compare prospective submissions to before they go in. So, I'm not a guru, just what I have found to be the best strategy for us. Both services are great and have helped us more that hurt. It is a game for sure, but that keeps it interesting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
