[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1439302, member: 26030"]Shoot, I said I was moving on ... and didn't ... I hate it when someone does that. (Please excuse me) Doug, I really want to understand what you are saying. You said that "NGC is TOUGHER on other coins" (other than Lincolns, or maybe you meant other than copper). Here is an NGC Graded Proof PF 63 Barber Half PCGS would not cross this at PR 63 ... they objected to the grade and wanted to cross it as PR62 or lower. So if NGC is tougher on "other coins" why wouldnt PCGS cross this at a higher grade (PR64 or higher?) ... why would PCGS not only not raise the NGC grade ... but in the end, not even agree with the NGC grade and want to downgrade on crossing. I know I havent had that many submissions, statistically speaking, but honestly I would fall over in my chair if PCGS ever upgraded any NGC coin that i submitted to them. I really do hope I someday have that pleasurable experience as it sounds like from what you wrote that does happen on occasion. That would be such a windfall! Man oh man, if this Barber half UPGRADED to PCGS PR64, I would have made thousands of dollars. Any thoughts you have are very welcome, as I am still learning about all this stuff too.
